making a popup to show video

Hello people,

anybody know how i can create a popup to show videos ???

i have looked at cpopup , ws_popup but i'm having difficulty understanding them. is there a simpler way to do this ???

the popup window just needs to play a video. then users can continue with the program while viewing the video.



so currently i am using axwindowsmediaplayer it just takes up too much space in the GUI. So I have to put it in a separate window.


thanks for the help !

Popup can be shown by creating a dialog box, you can add you player ocx there. Here are some tutorials on dialog box using VC++.
