[code] I am programming a simple alarm clock and the loop never ends the clock stops counting seconds, and I can not click any button as the form seems to be frozen
View 2 Repliesi am creating an alarm clock application which requires user input to switch off the alarm. I have 3 comboBoxes on the form named day month year. when the user enters the correct date ( Current date) and click the button the alarm is deactivated. the code to check that the date entered in the comboBoxes is the current date.

But I'm Having a hard time with the MP3 Part of it all.I want a pre-selected MP3 to start, when my timer2 is = to the time of day.But i Have never really used MP3's in any project. So dose anyone know how i would go about.
View 5 RepliesI would like to make an alarm clock application, however I am having some problems in the brainstorming phase.
My main problem is the fact that I dont know how to ensure the application will be able to calculate the time and thus set off the alarm. For example, when the application is closed, how will the alarm go off?
Ideally I would like to make this app a system startup item, so if the system is rebooted, the application will automatically relaunch - but again, I dont know how to do that.
If the system is sleeping, how can I wake it up? These kind of problems.
Another dilema I have, is if this application is always running, how could I have it go to my taskbar hidden icon menu (the right section of the taskbar next to the time).
I'm making an alarm clock whose form's backColor should change randomlly every 5 seconds. I am not sure as to how to do this. I'm using a timer so after the alarm clock's given time matches the current time, a song will be played. But I do not know how to count the seconds, or milliseconds that pass after starting time.
View 3 Repliesim new to the forums and vb. I decided to make a alarm clock and the basic functions work great. But I want to add a button that allows you to set the time you want to snooze till. The button stops the alarm but doesnt set it off. Basically it just does what my stop alarm button does well heres the code. P.S. The last button (button 3) is the snooze button

I am trying to create an alarm clock. What the problem is, is that when I then the program where the default file is using
wmp.URL="SomeWhere\In\A\Music Folder\song.mp3"
I get this error: An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Exception of type 'System.Windows.Forms.AxHost+InvalidActiveXStateException' was thrown.
When I that line of code it runs, but when the alarm goes off there is no sound. And having a alarm clock go off with no sound is not going to get one up. I do have wmp com control on the form.
[code] Runs fine for 4 seconds. as you can see tried thread.sleep but did not help.just crashes itself then crashes my entire programs
View 5 Replies[code]So basically the combobox1 item which is selected is sent to a string and is then supposed to be played from my resources. The .wav file which is in my resources is named "Sound1" however I have no idea how to reference it.
View 1 RepliesI'm opening a form like a "popup" as in an alarm clock.The problem is: I don't know if a modal form is open at this moment, and the popup form needs to be a modal (I think but not sure), so I have a potential (and not so potential) crash.
View 5 RepliesIs there a way to play a wav file and then pause for 10 seconds and then it will repeat? I know it will be a loop, but the part that gets me is pausing for 10 seconds before starting the loop again.
View 1 RepliesI embeded many audio file (.wav) in resources. I can inluded the following code to play a audio file My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.testWav, AudioPlayMode.Background)
But this command play only one audio file(testWav) I have two questions
1) Is there any way to play all audio files no matter how many files in Resources included in VB 2005 without typing all embeded audio file name? (using something like For Next statement)
2) Can I pass parameter to My.Computer.Audio.Play( , ), which means that when I choose one of files embeded in Resource, I just pass the chosen audio file to this command not specific file name(like testWav.wav)
I'm new to VB and have over the last week or two been looking at the different ways to play audio (mp3's). Windows Media Player, Microsoft Multimedia Control, Bass.dll, SndPlaySound, MCI SendString and DirectX (including audiovideoplayback, direct3d and directsound.) I originally decided to use windows mediaplayer, mainly because it seemed the logical choice but quickly found out I couldn't get it to work properly.
So I installed the Directx SDK but now I'm completely overwhelmed about what to use and why. I need to be able run the compiled code on a win 2k box, play an mp3 from start to finish then load and play another mp3 from start to finish and so on. Whats the difference between the varied choices and which would be the best for me to use?
Based on a thread earlier today, and in particular an answer that Cor gave wherein he
pointed to this article, I thought that I'd do some investigation. Many times here the question has come up about playing .mp3 audio files and NOT using the Windows Media Player object. In the article referenced above, he shows how this can be done via DirectX.
I've looked at DirectX before and it seemed ambiguous so I never really dug into it but it turns out to be pretty simple actually! I thought that I'd write this as a step-by-step of what I did so that maybe some of you will find use from it. The whole thing stems around using DirectX and to begin with, you'll need to download and install the SDK for it. If you haven't already,
try this link. Do be aware that it's a large download (about a half gig)! Once that's installed, create a form and add a reference to the class that we need for this. You can do this several ways, but the way I usually do is to right-click on the name in the Solution Explorer, then choose "Add Reference":

my program is designed to run on windows7. the mixer in the taskbar lets you control volumes per application. is their a way to determin if a specific application is playing a sound? if not, how would i go about checking to see if the system is currently outputting anysound.
my app is currently setup to use a speech to text and text to speech. basicly i want it to be able to wait for the text to speach software to stop talking before my app plays internal sounds (using the My.Computer.Audio.Play)
i don't have any code to provide as i have no idea where to start.
I am developing a video player with WPF.(in VB)I have already created a MediaElement ,ListBox, "Next" button, then start playing through reading ListBox,and use "Next" to skip to next audio/video.In "MediaEnded" event, i just copy all code in "Next" button.Now, problem is coming,
Assume the Listbox has four audios(.mp3), "test1.mp3", "test2.mp3", ......
now playing is "test1.mp3", i push "Next" button, then now playing is "test2.mp3".
However, when i just let "test1.mp3" play completed, my player will not play "test2.mp3",

I am working on an application in VB.net (.NET 2.0) where I need to open a dynamic amount of different audio streams. Normally, for audio files, one would suggest importing the Windows Media Player COM reference and adding a GUI-based element from the toolbox, but since I'll be working with a dynamic amount of these a GUI would be a terrible idea (especially with Tab stops).

View 1 RepliesI'm working on a program that allows a person to click on some text and it will read the text (play a wav file) using My.Computer.Audio.Play. The program calls a procedure called PlayAudioClip which uses AudioPlayMode.WaitToComplete because in some cases two wav files will be played one after the other(two languages). During the playing of the wav files I want to show a visible indicator that there is audio. I've got a picturebox called "AudioPic" who's image property points to a picture in my.resources. THe visible property of AudioPic is set to false when the form loads When the user clicks on the text my program should display the image (Visible=true), play the clip (or two) and then hide it again.
It seems that the picture is not completely loaded before the wav file plays and since I have it set to WaitToComplete it stops the loading until the wav file has played, at which time the program hides it.
How can I force it to finish showing the picture before playing the clip?[code]...
So I have a wav playing using DirectX in VB6. If i switch to another window, it stops playing. If I click back on the VB6 window it resumes play. How do I make it continue playing when I change windows? Another problem I cannot load wav files larger than 50 megabyte. It says Out Of Memory. How can I increase that?
View 1 RepliesI am creating a windows service that will do things behind the scenes without any GUI needed, thus the need for a Windows Service. The problem is though I would like to notify the user when certain events happen by playing a short audio clip. I know Windows Service's create a virtual Desktop, in which, Audio messages are not sent to the users Desktop.
View 3 RepliesI'm playing an audio file like so:
VB.NET Dim audio As New Audio(Application.StartupPath & "est.wav", True) audio.Balance = 10000 audio.Play()
Which works great. But if I need to change that file, I get an UnauthorizedException because the I haven't disposed of it. But, if I add a dispose after .Play, it won't play.
I would like to loop through audio in VB.NET.
Here is my code:
While blnAlert = True
My.Computer.Audio.Play("C:cat_1.wav")
End While
But it freezes the app.
I'm developing a standslone system for my school project. I'm developing an audio management system which allow user to add audio files itself into database together with the audio information such as artist name and album year. I just started it few days ago and face some problems.. my song in the playlist wont continue to play after 1 finished and i need some idea on how to store the audio files into database ... in blob types may be?
Heres the screenshot and codes

I have 1-10 audio files that were selected by the user using an "openFileDialog" (with a button and textbox for each). Now, I want it to play all of the files that they selected in a random order when the user clicks "Button12." After all the files have been played, I want it to start over and play all of them in a random order again. I don't want it to stop until the user clicks "Button13." When the user clicks "Button 12" again, it should start playing them in a random order again.
View 4 RepliesI'm a totally newb to VB and I want to do this. I want to do display system clock into a textbox. The trick is that I want it to be synchronized with the Windows XP clock. I want to have something like +/- 100 ms accuracy.
Each 'second' change will trigger an output pin to ground into the parallel port. This is very important that the 'second' change in the same time the Windows XP second change. Do not care about the parallel output thing, I'm nearly there. My main concern is the synchronisation with Windows clock.
In my code, I've added a counter that increment +1 at each 'second' change. So, when the 'n' value will reach a determined value, it will trigger another event.
