Playing .wavs from a .rc file

[Mike Trader]

I guess I thought this was easy!

Im used to a call like:
PLAY(C:\SomeFolder\mysound.wav)

So I read the archive and the simplist code that the guy said worked is below. Why cant i get it to work?

Yes! You're onto something. I tried the following and it worked
also. No need for the stringable stuff.

sounds.rc
------------------------------------------------------
howdy rcdata welcome.wav
bubye rcdata bye.wav

------------------------------------------------------------
#COMPILE EXE
#RESOURCE "sound.pbr"
#INCLUDE "WIN32API.INC"

FUNCTION PBMAIN() AS LONG

LOCAL lpWav AS BYTE PTR

hInst&=GetModuleHandle("")
hRes& = FindResource(hInst&,"howdy",BYVAL %RT_RCDATA)
lpWav = LockResource(LoadResource(hInst&, hRes&))
CALL PlaySound(BYVAL lpWav,hInst&,%SND_MEMORY OR %SND_ASYNC)
FreeResource hRes&

DIALOG NEW 0,"Sound Demo",,,200,100,0,0 TO hDlg&
DIALOG SHOW MODAL hDlg&

END FUNCTION

Kind Regards

I thought I had replied to this but I guess not...

If I don't get my search done (Having connection issues) search the source code and PB/DLL forums for my function:

PlayWavFromResource

You should get two hits and that will show you how to do this...
