Playing wav file from within a program

[white scorpion]

Hi all,

i'm currently writing a program where i want to play a wav file from within the program.
I can solve it by calling "C:\program files\windows media player\wmplayer.exe" test.wav
but then i have no control over the file anymore.

I'm sure there should be an easy way to do this, but all i can find are code for C# and VB and all functions used there aren't windows API's which i can easily invoke from within masm.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Mark

Have a look at Waveform Functions. I have used sndPlaySound in the past.

Wonderful!!!

So there ARE Api's for it... Thanks, that's all i needed to know for now ;-))

You can also use MCI - which basically gives you a wmplayer 'window' that you have control over - so you can play wav, mp3, etc; play, stop, skip, ...

What MCI function to do fast forward dan backward?

I don't think there are real fast-forward and fast-reverse, but so you can use seek.

Thanks guys, the API's were all i needed, it works like a charm...

Hello,
The answer is in the SDK,i translate it for masm

Code Select Expand

    SonWav         PROTO :DWORD
;déclaring the ressource in .RC, 530 WAVE DISCARDABLE "name.wav"
;include winmm.lib et winmm.inc
;call functio like that, invoke SonWav,530
;les macros SADD et FUNC font parties de MASM32

That code indeed is nice if you want to use a wav packed as resource but since i want the user to choose the wav file himself i've made an openfile button so he can select it.
