Ok, how do i implant that, i didnt find any info on MSDN.

??

Thank you.

Ok, the implementation is easy :

#include <mmsystem.h> // dont forget to link winmm.lib

// play from file synchron

sndPlaySound( "file.wav", SND_SYNCH);

// play from file asynchron

sndPlaySound( "file.wav", SND_ASYNCH);

// to play from memory or whatever use

sndPlaySound( "file", SND_MEMORY|SND_ASYNCH);

-> there are some other flags - look @ msdn

I implanted the code:
sndPlaySound( "file.wav", SND_SYNCH);
in my butten.
and #include <mmsystem.h>
and linked winmm.lib

but i get this error.

error C2065: 'SND_ASYNCH' : undeclared identifier

Thank you.

Sorry,

the right flag is called SND_ASYNC and not SND_ASYNCH.

You can read about all in MSDN.

How to write DOS-Programs with VC++6

11-Feb-01 20:55

... and the same for synchron playing:

SND_SYNC and not SND_SYNCH

---------------
P.S.: If you got problems with unknown flags take a look at the header-file. All flags are declared there.

Hello,

I'd like to write a Program that
can be executed in pure DOS.
Is there a way to write DOS-Programs with Visual C++6?

thanks in advance,
FoxHunter

Yes, but this will actually create a program that requires Win32 -> You want be able to run this program only in DOS;P

8-Feb-01 4:00

Yes...only DOS! Smile | :)

I'd like to program a little Password-protection that starts before the Desktop ist being loaded.
I'd like to start the program from the
autoexec.bat

I have written that program in quickbasic, but i'd like to program it in c++

.::RockNix::.8-Feb-01 4:14

Oh dear,

someone takes a simple bootdisk, removes the entry from your autoexec.bat and runs windows as usual -

and what about your password than ??? Why don`t you use the bios-password protection ??

Yes, you're right...but i want to program more dos programs than just that crappy password protection.
I could do that in qbasic, but i don't like the programming environment of qbasic.
So how can i do that now?

thanks

I dont really know if you can write real dos-code with vc. I have never tried.

Maybe use an older DOS-Compiler from Borland or something else.

You need VC 1.52 I think.
This is the last version that you can compile and make dos app.
Good luck,

Hi,

I think you could try (and I know its not VC++) downloading Turbo C++ from the Borland museum - a bit naff but it still works for DOS stuff.

cheers,
Andrew.

Hello,

I have a question regarding the way that the ComboBox control looks in MFC. - When I put the ComboBox on my dialog, and add some items in it, when I press the controlling button(the one that shows the list) it shows just a single item with two scrollbar buttons -> how to fix that so I can view my items in a normal list - like this

ComboBox
-----item----|
-----item----|
-----item----|
-----item----|
-----item----|

Thanks - Deian

in the dialog editor, click on the combo drop-arrow button. then resize the rectangle that appears. this controls the size of the drop down list.

Or open the dialog for resource editting, click on the dropdown button and change the size.

If you want to change the list height of the combobox during runtime. Create a new class and let it inherrit from CCombobox, add the message handler:
ON_CONTROL_REFLECT(CBN_DROPDOWN, OnDropdown)

and edit the OndropDown function like this:

void CMyComboBox::OnDropdown()
{
// This limits the maximum number of visible entries to 7
int nLines = min( max(GetCount(), 1), 7 );
CRect lprect;
GetWindowRect( &lprect );

lprect.bottom = lprect.top + nLines * GetItemHeight( -1 ) + lprect.Height();

SetWindowPos(NULL, 0, 0, lprect.Width(), lprect.Height(), SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOZORDER );

}

Good luck
