wmp visualization help

[Champak]

In my app I'm using visualization from wmp. I can get it to work in my script, but my issue is I can't change it realtime in my app. I have to save the settings in my app and then start the app again for the new visualization to take place. I've tried many code combos, but I just can't get a real time reload like wmp12. Any help please.

This is the part in my app that shows the visualization:

$MEDIAVISUALGUI = GUICreate($APPTITLE & " - Visual Screen", 640, $MVHeight, 0, -$MVHeight, $WS_POPUP);, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
GUISetBkColor(0x000000)
$OIE_AD = _IECreateEmbedded()
$MEDIA_PLAYER_ARRAY[18] = GUICtrlCreateObj($OIE_AD, 0, 0, $MVWidth, $MVHeight-95)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x000000)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x000000)
_IENavigate($OIE_AD, "about:blank", 1)
_IELoadWait($OIE_AD, 180, 4000)
Do
    Sleep(50)
    $ODOC_AD = $OIE_AD.document
Until IsObj($ODOC_AD)
Sleep(25)
$OBODY_AD = $ODOC_AD.body
$OBODY_AD.scroll = "no"
$OBODY_ADSTYLE = $OBODY_AD.style
With $OBODY_ADSTYLE
    .margin = "0px"
    .border = "0px"
    .padding = "0px"
    .backgroundcolor = "#ff0000"
EndWith
$OPLAYER1 = $ODOC_AD.createElement("OBJECT")
With $OPLAYER1
    .style.width = $MVWidth
    .style.height = $MVHeight
    .style.background = "#000000"
    .classid = "CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
    .uiMode = "none"
    .settings.setMode("loop", "false")
EndWith
$OBODY_AD.appendChild($OPLAYER1)
Guisetstate()

This is the function in my app that saves the setting:

$UNIVERSALVAR0 = _ArraySearch($MEDIA_VISUALIZATION_ARRAY, GUICtrlRead($MEDIA_SETTINGS_ARRAY[18][1]), 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1)
    RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences", "CurrentEffectPreset", "REG_DWORD", $MEDIA_VISUALIZATION_ARRAY[$UNIVERSALVAR0][2])
    RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences", "CurrentEffectType", "REG_SZ", $MEDIA_VISUALIZATION_ARRAY[$UNIVERSALVAR0][0])

Have you thought about destroying and then creating a new IE object to resolve?

[Champak]

i thought about that but didnt do it for two reasons. 1 if i have something playing it would interrupt it, also, 2 i figure there is a specific way to program it since wmp does it.

One more question on this topic. When changing songs the background in the object area sometimes flashes white...70% of the time. How can I make sure that doesn't happen? Locking and Disabling the GUi doesn't help. I programmed the background of the object black, I also set the GUICTRL to black even though that isn't supposed to be able to do anything according to msdn. I also set a black gui window to pop up and stay for a half a second which works 50% of the time. Any other thoughts or ways of painting the background of the object black?

NOTE: I used red in the example in the op just to see what was happening.
