You can't draw manually on active movie window which is used in playback. This is better organized with implementing custom video presenting stuff if you need to do that while preview, or inside DirectShow filter for any cases. Fair easy way but not proper is to make callback via ISampleGrabber and pick up the video images which you can draw along with your stuff.

i have found how to do this.
here is one way in WPF using Canvas

C#

    private void buttonPlayVideo_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        Microsoft.Win32.OpenFileDialog dlg = new Microsoft.Win32.OpenFileDialog();
        dlg.Filter = "All Files|*.*";
        Nullable<bool> result = dlg.ShowDialog();
        if (result == true) {
            MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
            mp.Open(new Uri(filename));
            VideoDrawing vd = new VideoDrawing();
            vd.Player = mp;
            vd.Rect = new Rect(0, 0, 960, 540);
            DrawingBrush db = new DrawingBrush(vd);
            canvas.Background = db;
            mp.Play();
        }
    }
</bool>

then create mouse events for Canvas and draw with it

C#

Point startPoint, endPoint;
private void canvas_MouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    startPoint = e.GetPosition(canvas);
}
private void canvas_MouseUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    endPoint = e.GetPosition(canvas);

    Line myLine = new Line();
    myLine.Stroke = System.Windows.Media.Brushes.LightSteelBlue;
    myLine.X1 = startPoint.X;
    myLine.Y1 = startPoint.Y;
    myLine.X2 = endPoint.X;
    myLine.Y2 = endPoint.Y;
    myLine.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
    myLine.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
    myLine.StrokeThickness = 2;
    canvas.Children.Add(myLine);
}
