Getting infos out of an activex control

Posted 28 July 2012 - 04:49 AM

Hello,

I'm using the Sopcast activex plugin (sopocx.ocx) in one of my C# applications.
I would like to retrieve the player status (Buffering the channel, Playing the channel, Channel Offline...) and the buffering percentage (both of these infos are surrounded by red in the picture below).

The problem is the Sopcast activex control doesn't provide any methods in order to retrieve these informations.

Does someone has any idea on how this could be done??

I suggest contacting the maker of the plugin. That's the surest way. Most of us here will have never seen this plugin.

Curtis has it right because they will give you a definite answer.

While waiting, I would take a look at their type library to see what classes, methods, and properties are exposed. Since you, obviously know how to use an ActiveX control and and old school .OCX file, at that, I figure you know about using OleView.exe to look at type libs.
