 MSMEDIAPLAYER Microsoft Media Player application

  This application embeds a Microsoft Media Player into a MATLAB figure
   window.  This is achieved using the ActiveX control for the media player
   This application is also intended as a simple tutorial for how to
   include ActiveX controls in applications developed with GUIDE.

  MSMEDIAPLAYER Opens the Microsoft Media Player in a MATLAB figure
  window.

 MSMEDIAPLAYER('file','filename')  Loads filename into the player.
   filename must be a valid file - if it isn't on your MATLAB path,
   specify the complete path. Note that 'file' is a keyword, and
   must be entered as shown.
 Example: msmediaplayer('file','H:\Documents\SimpsonsClip.mov');

 MP = MSMEDIAPLAYER Returns a handle to the media player object, allowing
 command-line interaction with the object.  Available methods can be
 viewed with METHODSVIEW(MP)

    mp = msmediaplayer;
    methodsview(mp);
    Open(mp,'MyMovie.avi');
    Play(mp)

  Since GUIDE does not yet support drag-and-drop placement of ActiveX
   controls, we need to add the controls from within the application 
   m-file (this file).  I do this during the opening function 
   (msmediaplayer_OpeningFcn), so that the control is initialized before 
   the figure is opened.
 
  There isn't much else to this simple application, other than the figure
  resize function that resizes the ActiveX control, too.

  This uses the following ActiveX control:
       Description: ActiveMovieControl Object 
       ProgID:      AMOVIE.ActiveMovieControl.2
       File Name:   msdxm.ocx
  Download: http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/mplayer.asp
  Documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmplay/mmp_sdk/windowsmediaplayeractivexcontrol.asp

 Standard GUIDE help follows:
 
      MSMEDIAPLAYER, by itself, creates a new MSMEDIAPLAYER or raises the existing
      singleton*.

      H = MSMEDIAPLAYER returns the handle to a new MSMEDIAPLAYER or the handle to
      the existing singleton*.

      MSMEDIAPLAYER('CALLBACK',hObject,eventData,handles,...) calls the local
      function named CALLBACK in MSMEDIAPLAYER.M with the given input arguments.

      MSMEDIAPLAYER('Property','Value',...) creates a new MSMEDIAPLAYER or raises the
      existing singleton*.  Starting from the left, property value pairs are
      applied to the GUI before msmediaplayer_OpeningFunction gets called.  An
      unrecognized property name or invalid value makes property application
      stop.  All inputs are passed to msmediaplayer_OpeningFcn via varargin.

      *See GUI Options on GUIDE's Tools menu.  Choose "GUI allows only one
      instance to run (singleton)".
