Overlaying Vlc.DotNet.Forms.VlcControl or other option

[mbgerozaga]

I have a question about Vlc.DotNet.

Generic information

• Vlc.DotNet version : 3.4.9.0
• Vlc.DotNet project used : Winforms
• libvlc version : x86 + official Website
• .net version : 4.8
• Project language : C#
• Project build architecture : AnyCPU
• Operating system : Windows 10 x64

Summary

How do you do an overlay with mouse over events?
I'm using this to stream a camera with PTZ controls.
PTZ controls will be controlled using overlays in the video(Vlc.DotNet.Forms.VlcControl).

I have done a previous project by integrating the overlays into the frames.
Will using Vlc.DotNet.Forms.VlcControl be an appropriate approach?

Put your controls over the video as you would normally do with WinForms. you may have to set IsMouseEnabled and IsKeyboardEnabled (not really sure about the name) to false

[mbgerozaga]

Is there a way to use the Paint event of the control to do the overlay instead of external controls?

[jeremyVignelles]

That probably won't work since the drawing is done by VLC which doesn't know about WinForms. Create your own control for that
