Controlling Sound Volume

[Worm]

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.

Sweet, I can hardly wait to try it out. Thanks!

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.

Worm, you have my nomination for the AMS developer of the year - keep it coming, my mud munchin' man!

[Corey]

I'll second that...

Thank You! Very good stuff....

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

Thanks

[Worm]

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...

LOL Corey. I nearly spit lunch all over my monitor. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

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.

Ka-ching!
