sound

Hi
Can I play a .wav sound on app opening.
I'm using vfp8.
What and where do I put the code?

Thanks

The easiest way to just play one sound is probably to use the
sndPlaySound function. You can find an explanation of using it with
Foxpro here: http://www.news2news.com/vfp/?function=398

Alternatively, you could use a multimedia OCX to play sounds, but that
is probably overkill in this case.

Try the following either early in your main program or in your main
(opening) form.load event:

SET BELL TO "MySound.WAV"
?? CHR(7)
SET BELL TO

It should play as soon as the program starts.

If you want to delay it till your main form (if any) is open, use
the form.init event. That code doesn't run until after all of the
form's objects are created.

The code from Rush should have a little addition which is:

SET CONS ON
SET BELL TO "MySound.WAV"
?? CHR(7)
SET BELL TO
SET CONS OFF

Hi
The other way worked fine...What is the SET CONS for?

Thanks
