It would assist us if you could provide example code, the smallest
possible to reproduce the problem.

I believe WMP is correct to exit full screen mode when the video
playback stops. This is a design feature.

The word 'singly' is perhaps not quite the right word.

Please confirm : I think you are saying "WMP exits fullscreen when
playing a single video URL"

and

"WMP does not exit fullscreen, when playing a playlist (from 2, to
many video URLs, in a list)

is that correct ?

thank you, Smith, you are right.
when WMP play a local video in full-screen mode,
if i press stop button, it does not exit full-screen mode.
my application is embed the WMP activex control into a dialog,
you can duplicate this phenomanen from WMPHost programm
written in C++, and it is an example of WMPSDK10. where when
wmp open and play a local video, double click it to enter full-screen
mode. then if we cllick stop button it will quit
or you can duplicate this by creating a dialog based application,
insert wmp activex control into this dialog, and try to open or load
a local movie into WMP to let wmp play, doubleclick and pree stop,
the same thing will occur.

reagards.
