You can allways use dll/COM for this. Its has its own benefits, tradeoff's then. Prasad Notifier using ATL | Operator new[],delete[][^]

note: int x; x= 0110; //oct value 0"number", base 8 x= 0x110; //hex value 0x"number", base 16 x= 110; //dec value, base 10 so a 0110(base 8) number is 72(base 10) * use Windows calculator to check the above values you can NOT keep the zeros if you use a "int" type

maybe i am posting the wrong words, so to keep it simple i have a function that causes the application to wait till it finishes it's work, so normally you would make it a thread function and call it using AfxBeginThread to let the application continue working after calling it am i right in this ?? if i am right, this function uses some member variables that are declared in the class but the thread function can't see the member variables of the class am i right ?? if i am, i want to pass this member variable to the thread function so that it could understand it and work with it "while this varibale not a rgular data type, it is a typedef from a combination of types" can anybody help me with this for any other information do not hesitate to reply thnx alot 4 ur time and concern.

You want to be able to play it synchronously, yet be able to stop it playing. Can't do that, because PlaySound won't return until it's already finished. You want to play it asynchronously, and get notified when it's stopped playing. Can't do that, because PlaySound provides no notifications. However, if you read what I wrote, you can get the behaviours that you want. Spin another thread to call PlaySound synchronously. That thread can tell you when it's finished, and the effect on the other thread is that of playing it asynchronously. If you want to stop it playing, you can call playsound with a purge option (as someone else has suggested) from the original thread, which will give you what you want. Alternatively, you can try the MCI interface, or look at the waveOut* functions. However, using waveOut is a lot more complicated than using PlaySound with a second thread There's a phrase which comes to mind: If you won't like the answer, don't ask the question...
