If you run the Visual FoxPro solutions sample and from the navigation tree select:

ActiveX Controls->Play An AVI File In An ActiveX Control

You will presented with an example that plays a Microsoft AVI video file. The primary purpose of the control is to provide a window in which images, icons, and metafiles can be displayed thus providing more functionality than the standard VFP image class.

1. Create a new form
2. Drop the HWND ActiveX on the form and set the name property to oleHWND
3. Drop a button on the form and add the following code to the click() event.

LOCAL lcFilename

lcFilename = getfile("ICO")

if NOT empty(lcFilename)
ThisForm.oleHWND.picture = loadpicture(lcFilename)
wait window "Press a key to save the display."
ThisForm.oleHWND.SaveDisplay()
endif

4. In the paint() event of the oleHWND control add the following code.

ThisForm.oleHWND.RestoreDisplay()
