VFCDWriter Control

[Smithy006]

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have experience with vision factory's FCDWriter Control?

If the answer is yes then can somebody out there help me, here's my problem:

All I want the control to do is to make an Audio CD.
I've been adding the wav's to the cue but and I used the command writewavtocue but i get the error.
"No read access for c:\example\demo.wav"
Below is a code snippet of what is actually in my program...

VFcdwriter1.ClearWaveCue
File1.path = (wavdir)
File1.Pattern = "*.wav"
File1.Refresh
For x = 0 To File1.ListCount - 1
liststr$ = File1.List(x)
WAVfile = (wavdir) & (liststr$)
VFcdwriter1.AddWaveToCue (WAVfile)
Next x

boolready = False
Do
VFcdwriter1.EjectAfterWriting = True
extra = MsgBox("Please insert a blank CD into your drive to continue.", vbOKOnly, "Insert a CD!")
VFcdwriter1.WriteWavecueToCDR
Exit Do
DoEvents
Loop Until boolready = True

Does snybody out there know why the error occurs, I have seen some peoples comments on this control and they say it's as bussy as all hell, but is there an alternative??

Thanks.

Just to clear as few things up, I meant buggy as all hell

Ok, try this....

VFcdwriter1.ClearWaveCue

mypath = (wavdir) 'set a path variable
if left(mypath,1) <> "\" then mypath = mypath & "\" 'check to be sure the path has a trailing backslash

File1.path = mypath
File1.Pattern = "*.wav"
File1.Refresh
For x = 0 To File1.ListCount - 1
liststr$ = File1.List(x)
WAVfile = mypath & liststr$
VFcdwriter1.AddWaveToCue (WAVfile)
Next x 11

This is simular to how we code at http://www.stengineer.com. Hope it helps..

Hi Knight,

I'm quite sure it has nothign to do with the path. Originally It came up with a file open error which was the path problem, I overcome that I think it's when it actually get's to the VFcdwriter1.WriteWavecueToCDR
that's when it stuff's up.
Any Ideas?

ok, if the code is correct, it has to do with the control. You will probably need to talk to the guys who made the control. Hard code a PATH and try it. See if it works or not. Just a suggestion. I hope it helps.

Yup, I already just e-mailed the makers just then. Thanks for your help. Have you heard of any alternate ActiveX controls that have burning capabilities?

hmmm. . sorry guy.. Neither my partner nor I have...

Let me know if you do find one. I'm very interested in it as well.
