Scrolling Play-by-play
(I consider this "general," as it would apply to status reporting other than for a game. I hope that's okay.)

I've been designing a sports simulation game. It began in QuickBasic, was adapted to VB 3 and is now in VB 5. For the play-by-play window, I'd been using a simple List Box. I add

Code:
frmNarrate.lstPlayByPlay.AddItem Text$
Where Text$ will be something synthesized like "Green Bay lines up, first and ten from their 35 ... ," or "Wilson grounds to short . . . he's out!" Text$ also gets written to a file for a permanent record.

After each addition, I scroll the list to show the latest entry:

Code:
frmNarrate.lstPlayByPlay.TopIndex = frmNarrate.lstPlayByPlay.ListCount - 1

This has served me quite well over several years. However, I'm limited to one text style, size and color. I can change (or let the user change) the entire display, but can't show one team's results in Blue and the other in Red, use bold or italic, that sort of thing.

In reading through this Forum, I was surprised to find that (1) many programmers seem to use a multi-line Text Box for just this sort of thing, and that (2) I ought to consider using a Rich Text Box to full advantage. I presume that it can be made to scroll properly.

I'm going to try these as an alternative just as soon as I get home. Any opinions as to whether it will work, or how difficult the conversion would be? Would using the Rich Text Box add much overhead to the program?

Stop & Pause
what i am trying to do is make it so when u user clicks the "Start" button, it will do something, but then there will also be "Stop" and "Pause" buttons. how can i make it so when the user clicks the "Stop" button, it will stop doing the command the "Start" button gave, and same thing with pressing pause only i can pause it, and then be able to resume it. i hope this isn't too confusing, and makes sense.

Play Wav
How can i play a wav file when my form load??

.wav Play
I have this code in a form:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
On Error GoTo E
RetValue = sndPlaySound(App.Path & "REMINDER.wav", SND_ASYNC Or SND_NODEFAULT)
MsgBox "Played .wav successfully", 32, " .wav"
Exit Sub
E:
MsgBox "error", , "error"
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
End
End Sub

and this code in a module:

Option Explicit
Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long
Public Const SND_ASYNC = &H1
Public Const SND_LOOP = &H8
Public Const SND_NODEFAULT = &H2
Public Const SND_SYNC = &H0
Public Const SND_NOSTOP = &H10
Public Const SND_MEMORY = &H4
Public RetValue As Boolean

is there anything wrong with this code which would stop the .wav playing, if so please tell me what and how to fix it !!! ???

Thankx

Play DVD's?
Hey

I found the Windows Media Player Control.

Now, when you type "WMA1." it comes with with "dvd". If you press "." again, a few options come up. Such as "titlemenu" and "top menu".

So, I have a command button, and in the click event, I have:

WMA1.dvd.Topmenu

This does not work. I need to open the player an begin playing. Any pointers?

Thanks

Play Mp3/
how to play mp3 file on load or on click event
also can we configure to play real player to start in a form

Can VB Play Mp3???
Hi folks,
I’d like to create a small Visual Basic program which would perform the following tasks:
a.Feed a list box with the names of all .mp3 files in a determined directory, let’s say C:My documents
b.Play the chosen .mp3 file by using any VB function or any mp3 player (which would have to run minimized)
c.Allow the user to abort the file playing or return to the program when the file is over.
I have been struggling with some options such as incorporating OLE’s and using the function SHELL, but haven’t got anywhere so far.
I would appreciate any help, even if you happen to know something about just a part of my problem. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my message and trying to help me.

Getting WMP 6.4 To Play...
I'd like to open a web radio broadcast station within my Visual Basic project. However I have opted to go with WMP 6.4 (for compatibility reasons) and have run into a snag. I cannot get it to open the http://radio/ or http://radio/listen.pls file without displaying an error message.

Is there any way to make this work or work around this problem?

Thanx in advance

Play Wav But Only When A Value Changes
Hi Guys,

I wrote a program that monitors a device on my comport and at present this checks a value every 5 seconds (I dont want to change this) It updates a text box display and also a plays a voice recording wav file.

Whats annoying is the input remains the same but the voice playback is constantly going and its doing my head in. Ive seperated these routines but im still faced with the same problem. I cant think of a simple way to ONLY play when the input value changes... ie temperature changes...

Can anyone think of a *simple" vb code that only plays the sound ONCE every time the value (temperature) changes?

Ive tried using a string: "storing" the old temperature and comparing the value to the new one - but my code seems to forget the "stored" value when it runs every 5 seconds so it continually plays voice files!!!
What am i doing wrong?

Please help!!!

Play An AVI
I want to play an avi from a resource file in my project without
using the animation control or having to extract the avi to disk.
Playing an avi without the animation control is not too hard to do,
but how can I play it without extracting it from the resource file
and saving it to disk?

VB Code:
Option Explicit Public Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mciSendStringA" _(ByVal lpstrCommand As String, ByVal lpstrReturnString As Any, ByVal uReturnLength As Long, _ByVal hwndCallback As Long) As Long Public Sub PlayAVI(FilePath As String, PlayIn As Object)'Usage: Call PlayAVI("c:mydocumentssample.avi", form1) FilePath = UCase(FilePath) If Right(FilePath, 3) = "avi" Then mciSendString "open " & FilePath & " type AVIvideo alias movie style child parent " & PlayIn.hwnd, 0&, 0, 0 End If mciSendString "play movie wait", 0&, 0, 0 mciSendString "close movie", 0&, 0, 0 End Sub
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Play An MP3
YES! I know this is the MOST asked question on the forums. And YES I did a search but none of the code i got worked. The one that did was extremely long. What is the SHORTEST way to play an MP3 (and loop it)? Without a module if possible (I hate modules) but if I absolutely have to have a module for it to be the shortest possible then I will accept.

Thx in advance.
