Screen Saver and sound files

Author	Message
sue_kaila.. #1 / 2	Screen Saver and sound files Hello All I have a screen saver application where a text changes every 30 seconds and scrolls bottom to top. All is fine. I would like to add .WAV files to it. I have a timer control and I use the sndPlaySound API and i hear the sound. But the problem is when Sound plays my animation stops moving, and when the Mouse Move happens, my application closes only after the wav file ends. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Sue..

Tom E #2 / 2	Screen Saver and sound files Sounds like (no pun intended) you're calling sndPlaySound in ~synchronous~ mode, which means it doesn't return (i.e. your app waits) until the sound has finished playing. Include the SND_ASYNC flag in the uFlags parameter. Quote: >Hello All >I have a screen saver application where a text changes every 30 seconds >and scrolls bottom to top.
