New VideoPlayer section and class

[barrymavin]

I have added a new "videoplayer" section and class (which you can use in custom sections) in v2.1.

It currently has the following methods.

play()
stop()
pause()
hideOpen()
hideControls()
+ core methods.

and the following properties.

url as character
volume as numeric
position as numeric
+ core properties

It is currently for desktop apps only.

You can assign a url or bind its data source (control source) to a character column containing a url or filename.

Special note: Videos will not play until you install additional codecs not provided in a standard Windows installation. Google "K-Lite Mega Codec Pack" and install the codecs then your videos should play.

This is a native VideoPlayer component currently for desktop apps only. It was an Enhancement Request.
