IWMPPluginUI::Create method (wmpplug.h)

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The Create method is called by Windows Media Player to instantiate the plug-in user interface. This method is passed a handle to a parent window of the plug-in window. A handle to the newly created window is then passed back to the calling method.
