sndPlaySound
The sndPlaySound function plays a waveform sound specified either by a filename or by an entry
in the registry or the WIN.INI file. This function offers a subset of the
functionality of the PlaySound function; sndPlaySound is being maintained for backward compatibility.
BOOL sndPlaySound(
LPCSTR lpszSound,
|
| UINT fuSound
|
| );
|
|
Parameters
lpszSound
A string that specifies the sound to play. This parameter can be either an
entry in the registry or in WIN.INI that identifies a system sound, or it can be
the name of a waveform-audio file. (If the function does not find the entry, the
parameter is treated as a filename.) If this parameter is NULL, any currently
playing sound is stopped.
fuSound
Flags for playing the sound. The following values are defined:
SND_ASYNC
The sound is played asynchronously and the function returns immediately after
beginning the sound. To terminate an asynchronously played sound, call sndPlaySound with lpszSoundName set to NULL.
SND_LOOP
The sound plays repeatedly until sndPlaySound is called again with the lpszSoundName parameter set to NULL. You must also specify the SND_ASYNC flag to loop
sounds.
SND_MEMORY
The parameter specified by lpszSoundName points to an image of a waveform sound in memory.
SND_NODEFAULT
If the sound cannot be found, the function returns silently without playing
the default sound.
SND_NOSTOP
If a sound is currently playing, the function immediately returns FALSE,
without playing the requested sound.
SND_SYNC
The sound is played synchronously and the function does not return until the
sound ends.
Return Values
Returns TRUE if successful or FALSE otherwise.
Remarks
If the specified sound cannot be found, sndPlaySound plays the system default sound. If there is no system default entry in the
registry or WIN.INI file, or if the default sound cannot be found, the function
makes no sound and returns FALSE.
The specified sound must fit in available physical memory and be playable by
an installed waveform-audio device driver. If sndPlaySound does not find the sound in the current directory, the function searches for
it using the standard directory-search order.

Nostalgia .Net |

.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
