Creating sounds in VB

[RollyS]

Does anybody know how to do this in VB code?

Instead of using the Beep to produce a sound, I would like to use the sound card of my computer to produce a sound. I don't like the sound produced by the Beep because it's too feeble. I like the one that sounds like "Blam!" whenever you make a mistake.

Thanks.

I'm new to VB but you can use VBExclamation or VBCritical for a MsgBox, and it will use the default sound of the computers sound scheme. Every day above ground is a GOOD DAY!!!

1. Insert inside your BAS module:
'********************************************************
Public Declare Function PlaySound _
Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "PlaySoundA" _
(ByVal lpszName As String, ByVal hModule As Long, _
ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long
Public Const SND_FILENAME = &H20000 ' name is a file name
Public Const SND_ASYNC = &H1 ' play asynchronously
Public Const SND_SYNC = &H0


2. Call the function somewere in your form:

PlaySound "MySoundFolder\MySoundFile", 0, SND_ASYNC
