Sound Enabling

[m i k e l]

Hello

I am looking for the required OCX/DLL to enable a sound player to my program (ie: Goto your Control Panel/Sounds). The play and stop function is what I am in search for. Any help would be appreciated, thank you

Look through the BB archives, it's the kind of question that appears all the time. In reply, here is some code I got from Serge's post

Private Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "WinMM.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long
Private Const SND_ASYNC = &H1
Private Const SND_NODEFAULT = &H2
Private Const SND_FLAG = SND_ASYNC Or SND_NODEFAULT

Public Sub PlayWav(pWavFile As String)
If Dir(pWavFile) <> "" Then
Call sndPlaySound(pWavFile, SND_FLAG)
End If
End Sub

Place this code on your button to play wav

PlayWav "C:\Mysound.wav"

If your looking for a console-based player (with buttons and length etc), use the Windows Media Player control.

But what about a stop command?

Call the Function Again using the SND_PURGE Flag:

Private Const SND_PURGE = &H40
