      HANDLE window_handle

      HANDLE DEFAULT
        Indicates the driver should display video in the window automatically created by the driver.
      STATE ACTIVATE

      STATE DEACTIVATE
        Deactivates the default video window if it is a state window. This has no effect on other windows.
      STATE HIDE
        Hides the default video window.
      STATE MAXIMIZE
        Maximizes the default video window. This indicator has no effect if the window is in a maximized state, and is also mutually exclusive with STATE MINIMIZE and STATE RESTORE.
      STATE MINIMIZE
        Minimizes the default video window. This indicator has no effect if the window is in a minimized state, and is also mutually exclusive with STATE MAXIMIZE and STATE RESTORE.

      STATE SHOW
        Shows the default video window.
      TEXT caption
        Specifies the text to display in the caption of the default video window.
      WAIT
        The command is executed synchronously. The function waits until the requested action is complete before returning to the application.
      NOTIFY
        The command is executed asynchronously, allowing control to be returned immediately to the application. When the requested action is complete, an MM_MCINOTIFY message is sent to the application window procedure.
