I would like to know if it is possible to add a control to view video IP video like the AXISMEDIACONTROLLib in a directx application in full screen ?

If DirectX runs in full screen mode it controls the whole display. Therefore you cannot show any other controls. Even in window mode put anything on top of a DirectX area doesn’t work well. Most time it would just flicker.

There are some dirty tricks were people try to let the ActiveX control render to a bitmap and then transfer this bitmap as texture to the GPU. But the results are mixed.
