Playing WAV files and MIDI files

Author	Message
Stuart Dougla #1 / 2	Playing WAV files and MIDI files Hi, I'm looking for a good way of playing WAV and MIDI files. The method has to allow the stopping of the MIDI or WAV file playing during playback and also optional looping. I have a API method for WAV files, but the playing of the WAV freezes the program until the WAV file has finished. Not what I'm looking for. Can anyone help? I'm looking for a nice short, sweet and easy answer. I'm using VB6 Cheers Stuart

Not what I'm looking for. If you're using PlaySound or sndPlaySound, you want to specify the Const SND_ASYNC (&H1) instead of SND_SYNCH ( which I assume you're using). That way the sound will play asynchronously (i.e. the program continues execution while the sound is playing). Quote: > Can anyone help?
