Wave Worries

I'm pretty poor when it comes to VB, so if anyone can give me any (REALLY) basic instructions on how to play a *.wav file after an event occurs, it would be really helpful.

I tried what Dim suggested:
Shell("C:\mywave.wav")
but VB protested with
"Invalid procedure call or arguement"

btw, I am using VB 5.0 Enterprise (not by choice, it's for a school project)

You trying to play a wav file? Refer to this thread: http://forums.vb-world.net/showthrea...threadid=23098

Hope that helps.

You should use PlaySound which is the successor to sndPlaySound.

Code:

---

Private Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "PlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszName As String, ByVal hModule As Long, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    'Play the WAV
    PlaySound "C:\MyFile.wav", 0&, &H1

End Sub
