How does one kill this

[HeSaidJoe]

I play a wav file but it seems it has to finish before
anything can get in
I want to be able to unload if esc is pressed but
this function won't let go until it has finished.

How can I interrupt it and have it quit

Call sndPlaySound(ByVal App.Path & "\sitting.wav", SND_SYNC)

Doesn't DoEvents help?

Use SND_ASYNC as the flag. For this, you need to declare the const in your module.

Public Const SND_ASYNC = &H1

Then you would use this to play your WAV.

Call sndPlaySound(ByVal App.Path & "\sitting.wav", SND_SYNC)

megatron:
I have the declares in place
If I do it your way it's the same.
What I need to do is stop it from playing
when I hit the esc key.
If i do it async it just skips through the nag screen
and flips into the image projector but still finishes
playing the song.

I am just trying to bypass the nag screen if esc is pressed.

I can set the ctlt to a button and have it bypassed on startup like the windows click if you want to see this
screen on startup but I was trying to just use the esc
key to do it.

code in form activate

Call sndPlaySound(ByVal App.Path & "\sitting.wav", SND_ASYNC)
Timer1.Enabled = False
Unload Me
Load frmPicDisplay
frmPicDisplay.Show

'esc key codePrivate Sub Form_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If (KeyCode = 27) Then
Unload Me
End Sub

Call sndPlaySound with vbNullString for lpszSound to stop the current sound.
