    Do you mean the animations that run in media player

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/wmplay10/mmp_sdk/organizationofthedocumentation.asp

    The SDK seems to be COM based, which probably means you could use it in VB.

    Please don' take this as being mean or critical.

    Right now, I'd start by not worrying at all about a visualization but on how to program. Programming is a field that requires LOTS of experience.

    Many experienced developers recommend that to really learn programming that you write commandline programs instead of forms based programs or GUIs (Graphical User Inteface).

    If you want to do GUI... spend the next month writing a Tic-Tac-Toe program, not to belittle you are all. It's just a good entry level challenge.

    thanks for the help. I followed the link and found some useful info about creating windows media player visualizations. BUT i don't know where to start! What programming language do I use (VB I guess) And do I need a reference to Media player in my code

    nice comment reneeC!

    and your point of view on writing commandline programs instead of form based and GUIs is fundamental...

    I dont believe that if you are new to programming - developing custom Visualizations should be your first attempt.

    VB is an amazing language that is fairly simple to learn but it does require that you start slow and small and build up on your knowledge to develop more complex solutions. If you cant do the basics then what hope have you of doing complex stuff.

    So I'd recommend like Reneec that you start with something more simple and straightforward, get comfortable with the language and writing stuff prior to lauching into developing wmp visualizations.

    You are going to have to provide more information. What do you mean my 'visualization' What kind of help are you looking for (noone is going to write code for you) Is there a spcific issue you are having difficulty with, or need some pointers

    How about the help files Try selecting Help >> How Do I... there you will find help on almost anything you need to get started.
