/**
    @class wxMediaCtrl

    wxMediaCtrl is a class for displaying types of media, such as videos, audio
    files, natively through native codecs.

    wxMediaCtrl uses native backends to render media, for example on Windows
    there is a ActiveMovie/DirectShow backend, and on Macintosh there is a
    QuickTime backend.


    @section mediactrl_rendering_media Rendering media

    Depending upon the backend, wxMediaCtrl can render and display pretty much any
    kind of media that the native system can - such as an image, mpeg video, or mp3
    (without license restrictions - since it relies on native system calls that may
    not technically have mp3 decoding available, for example, it falls outside
    the realm of licensing restrictions).

    For general operation, all you need to do is call Load() to load the file you
    want to render, catch the @c EVT_MEDIA_LOADED event, and then call Play()
    to show the video/audio of the media in that event.

    More complex operations are generally more heavily dependant on the capabilities
    of the backend. For example, QuickTime cannot set the playback rate of certain
    streaming media - while DirectShow is slightly more flexible in that regard.

    @section mediactrl_operation Operation

    When wxMediaCtrl plays a file, it plays until the stop position is reached
    (currently the end of the file/stream). Right before it hits the end of the stream,
    it fires off a @c EVT_MEDIA_STOP event to its parent window, at which point the event
    handler can choose to veto the event, preventing the stream from actually stopping.

    Example:

    @code
    //connect to the media event
    this->Connect(wxMY_ID, wxEVT_MEDIA_STOP, (wxObjectEventFunction)
    (wxEventFunction)(wxMediaEventFunction) &MyFrame::OnMediaStop);

    //...
    void MyFrame::OnMediaStop(const wxMediaEvent& evt)
    {
        if(bUserWantsToSeek)
        {
            m_mediactrl->SetPosition(
                m_mediactrl->GetDuration() << 1
                                    );
            evt.Veto();
        }
    }
    @endcode

    When wxMediaCtrl stops, either by the @c EVT_MEDIA_STOP not being vetoed, or
    by manually calling Stop(), where it actually stops is not at the beginning,
    rather, but at the beginning of the stream. That is, when it stops and play
    is called, playback is gauranteed to start at the beginning of the media.
    This is because some streams are not seekable, and when stop is called on
    them they return to the beginning, thus wxMediaCtrl tries to keep consistant
    for all types of media.

    Note that when changing the state of the media through Play() and other methods,
    the media may not actually be in the @c wxMEDIASTATE_PLAYING, for example.
    If you are relying on the media being in certain state catch the event relevant
    to the state. See wxMediaEvent for the kinds of events that you can catch.


    @section mediactrl_video_size Video size

    By default, wxMediaCtrl will scale the size of the video to the requested
    amount passed to either its constructor or Create().
    After calling wxMediaCtrl::Load or performing an equivilant operation,
    you can subsequently obtain the "real" size of the video (if there is any)
    by calling wxMediaCtrl::GetBestSize(). Note that the actual result on the
    display will be slightly different when wxMediaCtrl::ShowPlayerControls is
    activated and the actual video size will be less then specified due to the
    extra controls provided by the native toolkit.
    In addition, the backend may modify wxMediaCtrl::GetBestSize() to include
    the size of the extra controls - so if you want the real size of the video
    just disable wxMediaCtrl::ShowPlayerControls().

    The idea with setting wxMediaCtrl::GetBestSize() to the size of the video is
    that GetBestSize() is a wxWindow-derived function that is called when sizers
    on a window recalculate.
    What this means is that if you use sizers by default the video will show in
    its original size without any extra assistance needed from the user.


    @section mediactrl_player_controls Player controls

    Normally, when you use wxMediaCtrl it is just a window for the video to play in.
    However, some toolkits have their own media player interface.
    For example, QuickTime generally has a bar below the video with a slider.
    A special feature available to wxMediaCtrl, you can use the toolkits interface
    instead of making your own by using the ShowPlayerControls() function.
    There are several options for the flags parameter, with the two general flags
    being @c wxMEDIACTRLPLAYERCONTROLS_NONE which turns off the native interface,
    and @c wxMEDIACTRLPLAYERCONTROLS_DEFAULT which lets wxMediaCtrl decide what
    native controls on the interface.
    Be sure to review the caveats outlined in @ref mediactrl_video_size before doing so.


    @section mediactrl_choosing_backend Choosing a backend

    Generally, you should almost certainly leave this part up to wxMediaCtrl -
    but if you need a certain backend for a particular reason, such as QuickTime
    for playing .mov files, all you need to do to choose a specific backend is
    to pass the name of the backend class to wxMediaCtrl::Create().

    The following are valid backend identifiers:

    - @b wxMEDIABACKEND_DIRECTSHOW: Use ActiveMovie/DirectShow.
      Uses the native ActiveMovie (I.E. DirectShow) control.
      Default backend on Windows and supported by nearly all Windows versions,
      even some Windows CE versions.
      May display a windows media player logo while inactive.
    - @b wxMEDIABACKEND_QUICKTIME: Use QuickTime. Mac Only.
      WARNING: May not working correctly embedded in a wxNotebook.
    - @b wxMEDIABACKEND_GSTREAMER, Use GStreamer. Unix Only.
      Requires GStreamer 0.8 along with at the very least the xvimagesink, xoverlay,
      and gst-play modules of gstreamer to function.
      You need the correct modules to play the relavant files, for example the
      mad module to play mp3s, etc.
    - @b wxMEDIABACKEND_WMP10, Uses Windows Media Player 10 (Windows only) -
      works on mobile machines with Windows Media Player 10 and desktop machines
      with either Windows Media Player 9 or 10.

    Note that other backends such as wxMEDIABACKEND_MCI can now be found at
    wxCode (http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/).


    @section mediactrl_creating_backend Creating a backend

    Creating a backend for wxMediaCtrl is a rather simple process.
    Simply derive from wxMediaBackendCommonBase and implement the methods you want.
    The methods in wxMediaBackend correspond to those in wxMediaCtrl except for
    wxMediaCtrl::CreateControl which does the actual creation of the control,
    in cases where a custom control is not needed you may simply call wxControl::Create().

    You need to make sure to use the @c DECLARE_CLASS and @c IMPLEMENT_CLASS macros.

    The only real tricky part is that you need to make sure the file in compiled in,
    which if there are just backends in there will not happen and you may need to
    use a force link hack (see http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/RTTI).

    This is a rather simple example of how to create a backend in the
    wxActiveXContainer documentation.
