The sound of Windows...

[Alain]

Hello everyone, the forum does not seem very active at this time!

I have a question about using windows sounds with DLL.CallFunction.
Is it possible to have no latency with the "DLL.CallFunction" as with "Audio.Load"?
I would like to use Windows sounds rather than reported sounds.

See my example in attachment.
(On Show Dialog1 Dialog2)

Cordially,

Alain.

hello herrin tanks for your reply but I think you did not understand what I wanted to highlight:
- In the first case Dialog1, OsName appears at the end of the windows sound, which is not great.
- In the second case dialog2, OsName appears immediately which is much better.

On Widows10 these sounds are listed here for winmm.dll:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\EventLabels\Notificati on.IM

Look at my second exemple with counter:

Dear herrin, I understand your way of thinking but on the one hand Global is not a good solution for me the problem is not here.
If i want to close the dialog immediately it's not possible with DLL.CallFunction (see my second example) but its possible with Audio.Load (try).

In my case, I can have 4 or 5 warning windows for example and I want to be able to close them quickly.
And for practical reasons, I would like to use Windows sounds. I think it's better for a Windows application!

Any idea?

Thanks.

Hey Alain,
Why not just use audio load Windows sounds (wave files) found int the C:\Windows|Media folder?

[Alain]

Hey colc,

Finally I think that is what I am going to do.
(I don't know how to implement the SND_ASYNC flag in the function.)

Thanks a lot.

Alain.
