It is possible to combine several MediaControls in a MediaContainer so that they can be addressed as a single control element.

By default, a MediaContainer has no input and no output. However, to make it work like a normal control, you must use

• the AddInput and AddOutput methods,
• the inputs and outputs from the subordinate controls and
• use them as inputs and outputs for the container.

This class can be created and behaves like a read/write array. A MediaContainer is based on a GStreamer element of type “bin”.

How to create a new MediaContainer:

Dim hMediaContainer As MediaContainer

hMediaContainer = New MediaContainer ( [ Parent As MediaContainer, Type As String ] ) [ As "EventName" ]

The MediaContainer class has the same relevant properties, methods and events as the MediaControl class.
