Arguments: mci-animation window
This generic function determines the window in which an mci-animation will play back .avi files. The mci-animation instance should already be open (see mci-open) when this function is called. Any subsequent playback of the animation (see mci-play) will show the animation in the specified window. If this function is not called before an animation is played, the animation will appear in a new non-Common Graphics window over which Common Graphics has no control, so it is probably best to always use this function to control where an mci-animation appears.
window should typically be an instance of the
frame-window
or non-refreshing-pane
classes, or a
subclass of one of these. Though any type of window will work,
text-edit-pane
s and the windows of
controls (such as dialog
s) are intended for
displaying specialized content and so are probably not suitable. A
bitmap-pane
would work, but its backing store is not able to redisplay the current
frame of the animation and therefore has no advantage for an
animation.
See cg-mci.htm for information about MCI support in Common Graphics.
