waiting for process

[dndstef]

I wonder how to do that.
I want to play, let's say 4 .wav of about 2 Minutes 30 sec. each
one after the other and i want my app to wait until the previous
one is finished before starting the next one.
But i only get the last one. I don't want my app to freeze
either since i want to be able to close it when i press ESC.

So!
How do i make my .wavs to play one after the other?

Have you tried using DoEvents between each wav file. Place the DoEvents in a Do While loop and do this for every wav. Something like:

Do While mplayer.stillexecuting
   DoEvents
Loop

I couldn't give you the exact syntax b/c i don't know what way you are playing the wave files.

PS.You could also place a timer and set the interval to a second and play the seond wave file after the timer reached the length of the first wave file then play the third wave files when the timer reached the length of the first 2 combined.

Use the SND_NOSTOP flag with the PlaySound function. It returns False if a sound is allready playing.

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

Private Const SND_NOSTOP = &H10
Private Const SND_ASYNC = &H1

Private Sub PlayMyWavFiles(sWavFileName As String)
    Do While Not PlaySound(sWavFileName, 0&, SND_NOSTOP + SND_ASYNC)
        DoEvents
    Loop
End Sub

Good luck!
