playing .wav files from resource files (.res)

[WoundEdGoat]

Can someone tell me how to use the LoadResData() command to play a .wav file?

You might struggle to play a .WAV file from a resource file, they're generally pretty big, but here's the basic idea which will work for extracting any type of file from a resource file. You can't play the WAV file directly while it's in memory (or maybe you can but I haven't a clue how), so store it in a .WAV file first:

Dim WAVFile() as Byte

ReDim WAVFile(0)
WAVFile = LoadResData("WAVHandleInResourceFile", "CUSTOM&quot
Open "c:\wavfile.wav" For Binary Access Write As 1
Put #1, 1, WAVFile
Close 1

...and in your Resource file:

WAVHandleInResourceFile CUSTOM c:\source\homerdoh.wav
