That "stuff" is made in MS MediaView. The Infoviewer interface is not
going to be released publicly. However, there are a couple 3d party
support/starter pgms/OCXs around.
Check out the CI$ WINMM forum, and the mailing list
mediaview-l -at- willamette -dot- edu (SUBSCRIBE MEDIAVIEW-L YOURNAME).
The text portions of MediaView are similar to Help topics and
constructed much the same way. The interface, however, is totally yours
to write, including navigation. Check out the two sites above for
examples.
