Look up the PlaySound(...) function in MSDN - that will give you an example of how to play a sound using a small amount of code.

Peace!

I tempted to tell you that,
but it will definitely hamper your growth as professional. No offense intended. But,consider this as advice, MSDN is best soultion to 90 % of problems. But, you are not using it at all. And its very annoying, if you are asking such a question, that could be easily solved on your own. it makes clear that, you dont want/or dont have time to read carefully. Learn to explore things on your own, this is how you will catch up the fast changing technologies.

In this particular case, all information about compatibility of API will be avilable at Requirements section, down below in MSDN description of that API.

You need to have windows multimedia installed for that. I think its there on your machine. Just mention winmm.lib in linker option.

Hi,

i try to give my application a touch of beauty LOL

At the moment it flickers a lot. I tried to put ModifyStyle(0,WS_CLIPCHILDREN); into my base View

All my views are derived from UniView which is derived from CFormView. I added CLIP_CHILDREN to UniView.

The view doesn't flicker anymore, and the controls slides smoothly Smile | :)

But there is still a little problem. The background of the view will not be redrawn.
So the background is filled with "old control textures"

I tried already UpdateWindow() at the end of the Sizing, but without effect

Does anyone known a solution?

Big thanks Smile | :)

Some times, handling WM_ERASEBKGND to return TRUE(do nothing there) does the trick.

Thanks for the advice, but it's still the same

I thinks it's more the more that the background is not redrawn.
At the place of the background, the old textures of the controls are still displayed

I have the following structure :

Frame -> View(1) -> TabControl -> View(2)

does the WS_CLIPCHILDREN of the first view affect the non-drawing of the background of the sub-view?
I don't think so, because i testet with a CLIPCHILDREN only in the second view
