- I have seen LOTS of questions on various NewsGroups asking how to play
- WAV files in Visual Basic. Using 98% of the code from the VB Knowledge
- Base I finally figured out how.
-
- This project was created in VB 4.0 Pro 16bit. As of now the location of
- the WAV files is hardcoded as "C:\VB\WAVEPLAY" so unless you run the
- program from a directory by that name, you will have to change the
- directory path in the code. I am still trying to learn how to properly
- use the CurDir function so the location of the WAV files does not have
- to be hardcoded.
-
- When you click on the Quit button the program ends and the "Quit" WAV
- file continues to play...I am still trying to figure out how to make the
- program wait until the WAV file is finished playing before it ends.
-
- Obviously this code is intended for "Newbies" such as myself, but I would
- have liked to have some code like this to "show me" how.
-
- I know there are VBXs and OCXs out there to play WAV files, but I wanted
- to learn how to accomplish the task with code first.
