    Including winmm

    Hi.

    I'm trying to run .wav file from an MFC app writtten in VC++. I've searched through the board and found that I should use PlaySound, but I don't know how to include the winmm.dll or winmm library in the project.

    Could someone please help?

    Thanks.

    On the menu select:

    project -> settings

    click the link tab

    select general from the category list box

    add winnmm.lib to the object/library modules text box

    Hope this helps

    Thanks,

    That is what I was trying, but I kept getting an unrecognised... message about PlaySound when compiling.

    I've actually solved it now... I ran a search for files containing the text "PlaySound" in the include directory, and mmsystem.h came back. When I included that header file, and did what you said about the winmm.lib, PlaySound worked!!

    Thanks for your help.
