i found way.

at first, wanted without having include wmp activex in view. ended adding , use classwizard create associated member variable in view.

the created member variable of type cwndplayer4.

here code used:

m_backgroundplayer.seturl(m_url); m_backgroundplayer.getsettings().setvolume(100); m_backgroundplayer.getcontrols().play(); 

m_url member variable associated text box in user types url.

i used windows media player 10.00.00.4081 , environment windows xp pro sp3.
