Overview

Control in a WINDEV and WINDEV Mobile window

The Multimedia control is used to play multimedia files.

In a site, we recommend that you use the MP4 format (supported by all the browsers in HTML5 standard). The former formats require the setup of plugins not supported by some browsers for security reasons. For more details on the Multimedia control in a WEBDEV site, see The Multimedia control (WEBDEV).

Creating a Multimedia control

On the "Creation" pane, in the "Usual controls" group, expand "Image" and select "Multimedia control".
Click where you want to create the control in the page. The control appears in the editor.

To view the control characteristics, select "Description" in the popup menu of the control.

For more details on the Multimedia control in a WEBDEV site, see The Multimedia control (WEBDEV).
