Determines if the currently open MCI device uses a window for output. This property is not available at design time and is read-only at run time.
Syntax
[form.]MMControl.UsesWindows
Remarks
The following table lists the UsesWindows property return values for the Multimedia MCI control.
| Value | Description |
| False | The current device does not use a window for output. |
| True | The current device uses a window. |
Currently, only MMMovie and Overlay devices use windows for display. Because there is no way to determine whether a device uses windows, the value of UsesWindows is set during processing of an Open command by checking the device type. If the device type is MMMovie, Overlay, or VCR, the device uses windows.
For devices that use windows, you can use the hWndDisplay property to set the window that will display output.
Data Type
