Hi Julia.
Just found out I could send messages. 
First I am working through the … explanation… of how I should have my program working to do what I want. Slowly things are making sense.
Thank you.
But a question came up while I was reading it.
Since I don’t sit on my hands, I thought make up a method (in the app) to playTheMovie.
Then the first time the screen saver is started, I do my volume setting and call the method, with the listbox row, as below:
// for testing only
MessageBox "There are : " + screenSaveMovieListWindow.ListBox1.RowCount.ToString + " movies in the list”
// first find the size of screen I have
//height and width
//make it full screen
movieWindowForPlaying.FullScreen = TRUE
movieWindowForPlaying.MoviePlayer1.Height = DesktopDisplay.DisplayAt(0).Height
movieWindowForPlaying.MoviePlayer1.Width = DesktopDisplay.DisplayAt(0).width
//allow the user to have sound or not
Select Case screenSaveMovieListWindow.muteCheckBox.VisualState
Case DesktopCheckBox.VisualStates.Unchecked
App.moviePlayerVolume = 100
case DesktopCheckBox.VisualStates.Checked
App.moviePlayerVolume =0
case DesktopCheckBox.VisualStates.Indeterminate
App.moviePlayerVolume = 50
End Select
app.i = 0
app.playTheMovie(app.i)
Plays fine.
In the MoviePlayer1.PlaybackStopped I have
app.i = app.i + 1
// for testing only
MessageBox "app.i = " + app.i.ToString + “ "
if app.i <= screenSaveMovieListWindow.ListBox1.RowCount then
app.playTheMovie(app.i)
else
MessageBox "End of Movies”
end if
Next movie plays fine.
If I have a third one, it NEVER plays. Which is why I wondered if I had to do something else.
Any ideas?
Regards
