More complex operations are generally more heavily dependant on the
capabilities of the backend. For example, QuickTime cannot set
enabled, requires linkage with the static library strmiids.lib,
and is available on Windows Only.}

+
+Normally, when you use wxMediaCtrl it is just a window for the video to
+play in. However, platforms generally have their own media player interface,
+like quicktime has a bar below the video with a slider etc.. If you want that native
+interface instead of making your own use this function. There are several options
+for the flags parameter, however you can look at the mediactrl header for these.
+The two general flags are wxMEDIACTRLPLAYERCONTROLS\_NONE which turns off the
+native interface, and wxMEDIACTRLPLAYERCONTROLS\_DEFAULT which lets wxMediaCtrl
+decide what native controls on the interface.
