Sound in VW 2.5

Author	Message
Kwin Krame #1 / 4	Sound in VW 2.5 Hi, Another question for the cognizenti... Is it possible to play short sounds (I'm thinking of event-specific sounds like beeps and clicks) through VW 2.5. I can't find anything about sound in the documentation. I'm working on a Windows 95 machine, but I really would like my code to be as platform-independent as possible, so I don't want to have to do Windows API calls. Am I out of luck? Do I need some add-on library? All help is much appreciated, Kwin Kramer

If you want to be more entertaining you can use DLLCC (CPOK) to place external calls. You might want to look at the DLL called mmsystem (I could be wrong) or whatever is appropriate for Win95. -- Eugene Lipkin www.gpoint.com

Joel Nylun #3 / 4	Sound in VW 2.5 mmsystem is the correct dll, the api I think you want is "sndPlaySound", at least that is the right one in windows and nt. If you want your sound player to be platform independent, just create a public generic sound interface that will use the correct sound class depending on platform behind the scenes. -Joel Quote: > > Hi, > > Another question for the cognizenti... > > Is it possible to play short sounds (I'm thinking of event-specific > > sounds like beeps and clicks) through VW 2.5.

Couldn't find this, do you mean Screen default ringBell? Though your message name is far more appropriate! Quote: > much. If you want to be more entertaining you can use DLLCC..... Ouch. Has no one written some nice Smalltalk sound classes? Has anyone written a ST equivalent to the Acoustic finder that was produced for the Macintosh a few years ago?
