Wave Worries

[SOUL-JAH]

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)

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    F = Playwave("C:\abort.wav", 1)
End Sub

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.

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
