Background API Function Calls....

Post by Waldo » Wed Jan 17, 2007 4:16 am

Two questions
1. Can anyone recommend a good book/resource with examples of Visual Basic API function calls? Good examples are the fastest way to learn.

2. I'm using the Macro Scheduler "PlayWav" function to send an audible alert in the program, but PlayWav waits for the .wav file to execute completely before the script continues....
I think there is a way to use the API PlaySound call with an ASYNC flag set that it will start the .wav file playing & return from the call immediately to my program. Can someone provide an example?

Many thanks for a great forum...
