| Problem: | How to play sounds in SPEL+ |
Purpose
The purpose of this Technical Support Note is to describe
how to play wave files from a SPEL+ program.
Procedure
You can call several functions in the Windows API from
SPEL+. To play sounds, you can use the PlaySound API call. Of
course, your system must have a sound card installed.
Create a program called
sound.prg.
Include the following code:
Declare PlaySound,
"winmm.dll", "PlaySound", (name$ As String, module As Long, dwFlags As Long) As
Long
#define SND_FILENAME &h20000
Function
PlayWaveFile(fileName$ As String)
PlaySound fileName$, 0, SND_FILENAME
Fend
Now you can call PlayWaveFile from anywhere in your project. For example:
Function main
PlayWaveFile
"c:\winnt\media\tada.wav"
Fend
