about sounds...

how are you able to play sounds? (code) how can you stop sounds while playing? Can you load them into a file(hopefully .res)?

thanks in advance!

Option Explicit
'
Private Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias _
"PlaySoundA" (ByVal IpszName as String, ByVal hModule As _
Long, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long
'
Private Const SND_FILENAME = &H20000 ' name is a filename
Private Const SND_AYSNC = &H1 ' play asynchronously
Private Const SND_SYNC = &H0
'
Private Sub PlayASound()
PlaySound App.Path & "\JamesBrown.wav",0,SND_SYNC
End Sub

Hope it helps...of course you could always BEEP

could you clarify what all of that does....?

Check out this sister site for info on API's (this link will take you to the function described above):

http://www.vbapi.com/ref/p/playsound.html

Or use the sndPlaySound API.

Code for module.

Code:

---

Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long

---

Code to play sound.

Code:

---

Call sndPlaySound("C:\MySound.wav", &H1)

---

And, yes you can add them to a RES file.

All it does it replays .wav files. We have a whole series of sound bits etc which play during different events, we use this call to play them. Doesn't do anything else, just plays wav files...though will try out Megs API call.
