Creating WPF Application Project

Fire up Visual Studio 2008 and Create a WPF Application and name the project as MediaSampleWPF.

 

I am just extending the feature that we experienced in our last application titled "Media Element In WPF", "Screenshot From Media Element in WPF", and "Seek bar For Media For Media Element In WPF".

As in the Timer Controls Tick event we are doing something, let's add a piece of code that would help us making the Media Element Full Screen run properly.

 

We will make the MediaElement to show as FullScreen on MouseDoubleClick, but there is a road block for us. We don't have LeftMouseDoubleClick event for MediaElement.

Above timer will be similar to System's DoubleClickTime.

 

The above code should work for making the Full Screen view. Let's test it.

Run the application and Double Click on the Media Element. Now you can see the Media Element running in Full Screen Mode.
