 |
|
My app has to play a wave file and it has to be able to interrupt what is
playing (if anything) to play its sound. I tried using:
playsound(nil,0,0);
playsound(mysound, etc.);
This did not work for some reason. Does anyone know how it can be
accomplished?

Hi
I don't know this for PlaySound function. It may play until end is
reached. To have more control over playing sound, you should check the
waveOutXXX (waveOutOpen, waveOutWrite,...) API functions. It's more complex
and not so easy to use as PlaySound but gives you full control.

Do you know if waveOut can do that? I started to look at it but
wasn't sure if I was wasting my time or not.
I have concluded that playsound will only interrupt something playing in
it's own application space. Actually, I would prefer if it just played my
sound on top of the other sound, or interrupted it, played my sound, the
resumed playing the other thing.. Fancier than what playSound can do.
Thanks.
