Adding sound to VB programs

[dan]

In "old basic" there was the PLAY command that allowed the program to make a sound other than BEEP.  Is there a similar function in VB?  Better yet, is there an easy way to play a wav file from a VB program?

You will need to add Microsoft Multimedia Control through your Tools/References. I'm using VisualBasic 4, so I can't tell if this would work in any other version.<br><br>Then add the button to your form and code it accordingly. You will need to know the correct command <b>codes</b> to activate and close out the program.<br><br><br><i>Here's an example from one of my progs...</i><br><br>'Private Sub RunFileName()<br>'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With mciControl<br>'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.SetFocus<br>'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.filename = NameOfFile<br>'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.Command = &quot;open&quot;<br>'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.Command = &quot;play&quot;<br>'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;End With<br>'End Sub<br><br><br><i>If the user selected REPEAT in the media player's preferences box, then the following will never be execuited</i>.<br><br><font color=red>***The following code will be initiated <b>AFTER</b> the media player has finished***</font><br>'Private Sub mciControl_Done(NotifyCode As Integer)<br>'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mciControl.Command = &quot;Close&quot;<br>'End Sub<br><br><br>Just to let you know...The forum you should post a query in is the VisualBasic forum.&nbsp;&nbsp;See Forum list, select programmers, then langauges, and find Visual Basic.<br><br>Hope this gets you started on the right foot...
