Sound From Resource

[Guest thesb]

How easy is it to play a wav from a resource rather than from the disk. Does anyone have a link to a site that explains this? Or maybe someone could type up a really quick example? I'm not much of a programmer at all, but I can usually get the job done with enough research. I'm wanting to have a plain program where you simply press a button,and it plays a small wav file, or even a midi file if that is easier. Thanks.

Playing a wav file is easier. IIRC, playing a midi requires a bunch of other stuff.

In my project (an MFC based app :| ), I use:

PlaySound(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_WAVE1),::AfxGetResourceHandle(),SND_RESOURCE | SND_SYNC);
