Playing a sound from a button

Hi everyone.
I have written a program that manages the timetable for my Model railway. I would like to add a button to play a diesel loco horn sound. Does anyone have any code to do that please?

Hi Dave,

Make sure you have WindowsPlatformFramework loaded. In it you will find Platform Functions PlaySound and WaveOutSetVolume. Use code something like this:

			WaveOutSetVolume callWith: 0 with: volume.
			PlaySound callWith: soundFile asPSZ with: nil with: (SndAsync | SndFilename).

to set the volume and play the sound. You may want to fork this code with a background priority to keep other things running. Good luck and have fun.

Thanks Lou. I will give it a try. No need to fork. Nothing can happen until the loco hits the horn and then departs!

Here is what it looks like. I just cycle through the timetable and it tells me which train to run next.

Hardly rocket science but...

I then run the turnouts via a Java package called JMRI which can control them through my DCC controller. I can also set up routes so that a set of turnouts are set as required. What is nice is that when I talk about it all the old buffers on the newsgroups complain about it being over their heads, and I am older than them! Big grin.

Re: Playing a sound from a button

Hi Dave,

Don't feel bad, I sense that coming on too. It is in WindowsPlatformFramework which is in PlatformFramework which can be loaded with the ENVY/Image Base configuration map. You should also look at OSCall>playSound:hmod:fdwSound: and OSHwaveout>waveOutSetVolume: that make the platform calls. You may need to play with the volume get it where you like it.

Re: Playing a sound from a button

Lou, I am on the 64 bit and I can't find any of this in the Envy/Image Base or even elsewhere. Can you give me a few more pointers?

Re: Playing a sound from a button

Hi Dave,

Maybe it isn't in the 64 bit version? Maybe someone at Instantiations can tell us for sure.. But in 32 bit v8.6.3 OSCall in PlatformInterface app, WindowsPlatformFunctions sub-app has #playSound:hmod:fdwSound: and OSHwaveout has #waveOutSetVolume:.

OSHwaveout new waveOutSetVolume: 1000.

OSCall new

playSound: '2tone.wav' asPSZ

hmod: nil

fdwSound: nil

That works fine. Many thanks Lou (plus Matt Sims and Seth) for the help. In spite of me using VAST since V3, I don't often get down and dirty like that!
