Ok, i'd like to have an .mp3 start playing in the beginning form, and play throughout the entire program. However, due to my horrible lack of knowledge in VB, I don't know how. I tried downloading "Directshow," but it doesn't seem to work in my project. Any help would be appreciated, and sorry for the stupid question.
If you want something to play on any form no matter which one is open, you might need a "hidden" form with the audio controls on it. And I believe it's "directsound" you need not directshow :-)
Argh, how this stuff could get any more complicated, I don't know. I've gone through countless other topics about playing music, but it leaves out so much basic stuff it's not funny. Listen, all I want to know is what I have to download, and what code I have to put in to play a .wav file. Nothing more, nothing less.
If things were easy, everyone would be programming :-)
One way you could try is to SEARCH THE FORUM like you're told to in the "read before posting" post...I found http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=357381 easy enough
