Question the Axwindowsmediaplayer is acting weird

[quangha]

Hi, I'm using VS 2008 pro version under windows 7. I'm developing an app, and my app has 2 forms. When i press a button in form 1, form 2 will show up. Form 2 contains an axwindowsmediaplayer control and I set the autostart to true. The problem is: When i start debugging the app, the form 1 shows up and I click the button to call form 2, the form 2 shows up and the player start playing ( this is really good, at first), when i close form 2, the player stop, the app takes me to form 1 again, now is the problem, when i call form 2 again, the player seems don't want to show up, i don't know how to describe, here is the image
This is the player i want

and this is the problem ( the sound still play well )

anyone have any idea ? THanks for your help

hmmm, i know the cause of the problem, but don't know how to fix. When i try to re-open form 2, the player is full-size ( not custom size anymore ) and the black part you could see is the visualization. I accidentally resize the form and discover this. Can anybody help me to lock the size of the player ?
