Function name: sndPlaySound

Defined in : winmm

Requirements : Windows NT 3.1 or later; Windows 95 or later

Declaration:

Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long

Parameters:

* lpszSound A string that specifies the sound to play. This parameter can be either an entry in the registry or in WIN.INI that identifies a system sound, or it can be the name of a waveform-audio file. (If the function does not find the entry, the parameter is treated as a filename.) If this parameter is NULL, any currently playing sound is stopped. * fuSound Flags for playing the sound. The following values are defined: SND_ASYNC The sound is played asynchronously and the function returns immediately after beginning the sound. To terminate an asynchronously played sound, call sndPlaySound with lpszSoundName set to NULL. SND_LOOP The sound plays repeatedly until sndPlaySound is called again with the lpszSoundName parameter set to NULL. You must also specify the SND_ASYNC flag to loop sounds. SND_MEMORY The parameter specified by lpszSoundName points to an image of a waveform sound in memory. SND_NODEFAULT If the sound cannot be found, the function returns silently without playing the default sound. SND_NOSTOP If a sound is currently playing, the function immediately returns FALSE, without playing the requested sound. SND_SYNC The sound is played synchronously and the function does not return until the sound ends.

Returns:

Returns TRUE if successful or FALSE otherwise.
