Implementing the Property Page for a Rendering Plug-in (deprecated)

This page documents a feature that may be unavailable in future versions of Windows Media Player and the Windows Media Player SDK.

Windows Media Player can display a property page for each rendering plug-in to enable users to set values that change the behavior of the plug-in. Users can access the property page from the Plug-ins tab of the Options dialog box by clicking the name of the rendering plug-in to select it and then clicking Properties.

The Windows Media Player Plug-in Wizard sample code for rendering plug-ins provides a default implementation of a property page that includes three radio buttons that allow the user to select the text color. When the user clicks one of the buttons, the plug-in caches the appropriate color value in a member variable (m_Color), and then enables the Apply button. When the user clicks Apply, the property page passes the color value to the plug-in object so the plug-in can change the value it uses to determine the text color during rendering.
