I have an app where I have decided to use a wave file. I call the wave with... sndPlaySound("WaveName.wav", SND_SYNC); I have included the Windows Multimedia Component in StaAfx.h... #include MMSystem.h #pragma comment(lib, "winmm.lib") Problem: Release build! The release Build only finds the wav file if it is in the same folder. What I would like to do is make the wave a part of the app just like any other resource, instead of a separate file. I have experimented with the .rc and .rc2 files to no avail. I know it can be done (for example the SpeakN sample app in VC++6.0). Perhaps I'm going about it the wrong way. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

When is it appropriate to use the "special" data types defined in the Windows header files such as BOOL, TRUE, and FALSE, & when is it appropriate to use the standard C++ types like bool, true and false? I am programming in MFC, but I see both in code. Anyone who can help end some of this confusion would be appreciated. I understand types like CString, and COLORREF add functionality, but does it matter which one you use with the others I mentioned?
