AxVLCPlugin2 always show toolbar VB.net

Question

Im using AxVLCPlugin2. By default the toolbar auto hides. I would like for it to stay put. Cant find the right command if there is one. Im using VB.net Thanks

You notice how the toolbar stays on when you wave the mouse over the control? You can simulate that. Drop a timer onto your form, set it to, let's say default 100ms interval and enable it. Then put following code into Timer_Tick event handler:

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
    Dim curPos = Cursor.Position

    Cursor.Hide()
    Cursor.Position = New Point(Me.Left + MyAxVLCPlugin21.Left + 100 * Rnd(1), Me.Top + MyAxVLCPlugin21.Top + 100 * Rnd(1))

    Application.DoEvents()

    Cursor.Position = curPos
    Cursor.Show()

End Sub

What this does, every 100ms hides mouse cursor, moves it to a random position over VLC control, then returns back and unhides it. This happens unnoticed by user, but it does the trick - control receives mouse movement and toolbar stays.
