    Completing forms (for programmers)

    Any programmers out there that know of an Active X control (or other .exe) which allows the user to select and display a form (say, a .pdf file), mark it up on the tablet pc, and then save the image (the markings combined with the form) in a reusable and easily shared format? I am looking at...

    Playing sounds sequentially

    Pete, Thanks for the WM_TIMER tip. This turned out to be just the solution I was looking for. I REALLY appreciate your help!

    Playing sounds sequentially

    I think this is perhaps the solution I was looking for! Thanks, Steve

    Playing sounds sequentially

    Gee, thanks for all the info. I am going to look over the lower level functions again and see if they will provide me with way to do what I want. The problem with PlaySound Timer PlaySound Timer PlaySound is that (if they are called in the ButtonWndProc) control is not released to the user...

    Playing sounds sequentially

    Well, sorry I frustrated you... re: your "Second..." Getting back to my original PlaySound problem, I am trying to play a sound, start a timer in a separate thread, paint a window, return control to the user, and when the timer thread runs out send a message to the UI thread to repeat...

    Playing sounds sequentially

    any difference bwtween that and DWORD ThreadID = GetWindowThreadProcessID(hWnd, NULL); ? In response to WM_LBUTTONUP, I have used the above and sent &ThreadID to my thread proc: _begingthread(MyProc, 0, &ThreadID); and in my thread proc I call: PostThreadMessage(*pThread, WM_LBUTTONUP...

    Oh, I know how to get the thread ID of the new thread, but what about the original thread ID? How do I get that? Steve

    Playing sounds sequentially

    Will, I like your idea IF the timers are on a separate thread so that the WndProc can return control to the user after PlaySound and spinning off the timer thread. I seem to recall something, though, about not being able to send messages to the queue from a new thread, so I wonder if calls to...

    Playing sounds sequentially

    Well, let me back up a minute... The reason I want the sounds played separately is so I can call InvalidateRect() between them and "automatically" update the window. For example, on LBUTTONUP from a Window's child button, initiate the sequence: Draw the window Play a sound...

    Playing sounds sequentially

    The problem with using the SND_ASYNC flag is that, if you have several sounds playing in a row, each call to PlaySound stops the currently playing sound to play its sound, with the result being only the last call to PlaySound is heard. Is there a function that checks to see if the audioplayer...

    Playing sounds sequentially

    I have tried this, but apparently when the SND_SYNC flag is used, whether in a separate thread or not, the system waits for the sound to finish playing before any other messages are processed. I will try it again, but I am pretty sure this is what I ran up against last night.

    Playing sounds sequentially

    Is there a way to use PlaySound() to play several sounds sequentially (as if each call was made with the SND_SYNC flag) but still return contol to the user at the start of playing the first sound? If the SND_ASYNC flag is used, only the last sound will play, of course. What I want to do is...

    CreateDIBSection

    Hi, I am new to this forum. I am trying to learn how to use CreateDIBSection, BITMAPINFOHEADER, etc. Can someone point me to some sample code for Win32? I program for CE devices, and I am working on how to rotate a bitmap. The CE text I normally use (Boling) is pretty sketchy on the subject...
