Adding Sound to an Application

Adding Sound to an Application

Why Trust Us

Question:
I have a application I need to run off a floppy, I am trying to find a space effective way to add sound to my program. Thiswill be in VB3 as VB4 is way to huge. Ole looks to add 500Kto the program any suggestions?

Answer:
I don’t think you need OLE to play sounds…take a look at the sndPlaySound API function, or use the Multimedia control. Assuming the person has the correct sound driver, the MM control should do it, and the DLLs/VBXs are not that big.
