Adding VLC Media Player to Visual Studio 2015

I am trying to get the VLC Media Player ActiveXPlugin V2 into my WindowsForms Application. I've registered the axvlc.dll and added it as reference to my project. But I can't get the control into my toolbox.

I've read that I simply have to right ckilck into the toolbox and select "choose items" then navigate to "COM components" and select the "VLC Active X Plugin V2", but it is not listed!

Any ideas ?

Solution

  • I was using VLC x64 for my Win 10 x64 System. But apparently the VLC ActiveX Plugin doesn't work with VisualStudio 15 when VLC x64 is installed.

    -> Installed VLC x32 and it works now
