Playing WAV-files
1999-08-13 Sound 0 177
It's easy to play soundfiles in WAV-format. You only need to know the filename of the sound you want to play, and decide if you want the macro to wait while the sound plays or not. Here is an example:
Public Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" _ Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long Sub PlayWavFile(WavFileName As String, Wait As Boolean) If Dir(WavFileName) = "" Then Exit Sub ' no file to play If Wait Then ' play sound before running any more code sndPlaySound WavFileName, 0 Else ' play sound while code is running sndPlaySound WavFileName, 1 End If End Sub Sub TestPlayWavFile() PlayWavFile "c:\foldername\soundfilename.wav", False MsgBox "This is visible while the sound is playing..." PlayWavFile "c:\foldername\soundfilename.wav", True MsgBox "This is visible after the sound is finished playing..." End Sub
