Glad it worked,
I think I had read some older
suggestion of John Chromie (the main author of the control) on this. However I
consider this behaviour a "bug" (that it resets those properties after
setting a new movie)
In my
QTVRControlX ActiveX control I have "xxUseDefault" (e.g.
AutoPlayUseDefault) properties that tell the control on whether it will use the
settings stored in the movie, if any (for example autoplay is stored in some
atom in a way respected by the QuickTime player application) or keep
the user settings (the value the "xx" property - for example the AutoPlay
one - had).
Else one could
have a single property called "UseMoviePresets" so that if that one is true, the settings
stored in the movie (if any) will override the settings of the control (btw, in
such a case the correct design would be to not override the control's AutoPlay
property if no autoplay setting is found in the movie, irrespective of the value
of the UseMoviePresets property)
