Trying to use PlaySound

I am trying to use the Play Sound function , but I am getting this error : unresolved external symbol __imp__PlaySoundA@12 referenced in function _main
I am nto sure what to do with this. I am using .Net C++

You need to ensure that you have linked the library winmm.lib and included the header mmsystem.h.

I have included mmsystem.h but how do I link the .lib file. I can't figure that part out. I am using MS Visual Studio .NET

You could try

Code:

---

#pragma comment(lib,"winmm.lib")

---

Works with MSVC++ 6.0, dont know about .NET

Go to "Project" menu and select "Settings"( or press ALT+F7). Then select "Link" tab and write your lib thing in "object/library modules" edit-box.
That's it :)

I don't have a selection for Settings under Project. I have Add Class, Add Resource, Add New Item, Add Existing Item, New Folder and something else. Maybe it is different in MSVS .Net, I will look some more.

Travis Dane, the pragma comment worked. Thanks:) Can you explain what pragma is?

Van

Well, its something that asures compatibility with other c++
IDE's,so that link settings can be done from the source and
not from a menu in the IDE wich another IDE has different.

(i think:p )

I'll have to mess around with this now :cool:
