View Full Version : Controlling Sound Volume

I just finished writing my first C++ DLL.

It's nothing spectacular, but it is something I wanted to be able to do from within AMS4. So here it is in all it's glory in a sample application. I hope others can find a use for it too.

wSoundDLL.dll

Allows you to control the Wave Volume from within your application. I know you can execute the SndVol32.exe to get a volume control, but I wanted to be able to make the volume control integrated in my design.

Really cool...

The Volume control works great. Now I just have to come up with a project to use it for.

That's very nice. Good Job. I've looked at the source, but I cannot figure out how you are swapping the background image. I see you have an image on top of, but I don't see what's causing it to show/hide in the app.

Thanks

Look in the OnProgress of the MP3 player and you'll see the code.

Thank You! Very good stuff....

What about a "mute" toggle button. How would one go about that?

Thanks

I'm working on that right now. Hopefully when I'm done the DLL will control the Master Volume, Wave Volume and Muting. If I'm lucky, I can get the other volumes too (CD, Line In, Mic, etc..)

If you can tweak it so it works on mother-in-laws too you'll be a rich man...

Forget about volume control for Mother-inLaw.
Just a mute button should be enough.... in self activating mode as the default.

I was just informed that the ZIP file for this project was a little mixed up. Files weren't being placed where they were supposed to and it made for an ugly scene when the project was run. SORRY!

Anyhow, I fixed the zip file and it should work properly now.
