Call the current default Windows media player?

[Ian Branch 127]

Hi Team,

Is there some way to call the default windows media player, what ever the user has set it as, from delphi?

Some users use VLC, some leave it as Windows Media Player, others use other progs.

I would need to be able to pass it a file name.

I have looked at TMediaPlaye but it is too limiting.

Regards & TIA,

Ian

Sorted.  Just told Windows to run the file, be it mp3 or mp4 or whatever.

It automatically uses the file extent associated application.
