Maintenance
The forum could be offline for 30-60 minutes in the very near future for maintenance (said 3pm Pacific). I was behind on getting this notice. I do apologize.
Perhaps you are running into a problem that I had. THat is,
in a sub-folder (pbdll\rc) the rc file was and when compiled out
to the .pbr file, that stayed in the rc file and my code looked
for it in the \pbdll folder. The new statements, of course, were
not in there. Correcting that oversight made everything work.
Then again, perhaps you don't make silly little mistakes like
I do.;-)
Michael, are you writing this in a DLL or an EXE? The module handle has to be handled differently in the case of a DLL, since the module handle of the DLL will be different to that of the EXE.
At this point, you really need to show us exactly what your code and your RC file contains, or we'll just waste time guessing at solutions...
Hope this helps, use it dynamically with all of your sounds, I have 16 in one of my projects..
You could use varptr or strptr instead of the way I do it, but it does work..
Code:
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function PlayWavFromResource(hInstance As Long, WaveName As String, WaveType As String)Export As Long
Local hRes As Long
Local lpWav As Byte Ptr
Local Wave1 As Asciiz * 10
Local Wav1 As Asciiz * 10
Wave1 = WaveName
Wav1 = WaveType
hRes = FindResource (hInstance, Wave1, Wav1)
If hRes Then
lpWav = LockResource (LoadResource (hInstance, hRes))
If lpWav Then Function = PlaySound(ByVal lpWav, hInstance, %SND_MEMORY Or %SND_ASYNC)
End If
End Function

One thing I've noticed, and it's weird and unexplainable, but when you declare your various objects in the resource file, LOAD them in the same order...
ie
#define MYBITMAP = 1024
#define MYICON = 1025

Here is my RC-FILE:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include "winapi\resource.h"
#define MainDialog 100
#define IDK_START 101
MainDialog DIALOG 10, 10, 430, 286
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_MAXIMIZEBOX | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION |
WS_SYSMENU | WS_THICKFRAME
CAPTION " SOUNDTEST "
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
CLASS "MyClass"
BEGIN
CONTROL "&Start", IDK_START, "Button", WS_TABSTOP, 2, 4, 30, 13
END
I'm not 100% understanding of This stuff, this is what works.
Also I might suggest you put the WAVE file before your dialog, should it matter? No, but it does in some cases, which was the point I was trying to make

Thank you for your example.
In this method you are loading the resource into the memory and then plays it from there.
I am sure it must be possible to play it direct from the resource without loading to memory.
Now I have discoverd that the PB.RES file includes my SOUND.WAV file... but it is definitely not in the PB.PBR file !!!
So that's why your example couldn't work either.
What could be the reason ???
If the SOUND.WAV file is in the PB.Res file but not after converting in the PB.PBR file..
There must be a bug in my PBRES.EXE version ???

That's one of those funky little issues I've come across.
If you like, send me your resource file and wave files and all appropriate files to compile it and I will test it here, K?

I just like to say thank you to all for the great help.
In my case it was the too old version of my PBRES.EXE
The example from Lance works fine now!
Semen.
I don't know why but I have just overseen your link.
Now i have download your file and everthing works fine.
