I've got an INIT that patches SystemTask and then pops up a dialog sometime in the future and I want to attach a specific sound to that dialog (ei. not the SysBeep sound). I am trying to keep the sound in memory at all times, so I read in my sound with GetResource, then DetachResource so that my INIT's resource file can close and then try to play it with SndPlay, but SndPlay complains because my sound is not a handle to a resource. How can I work this? If I don't DetachResource, won't my resource file have to stay open at all times? SoundMaster does what I need and it uses generic SoundCap files (or MacRecorder sound files or whatever). How can I go this route? What am I doing wrong? Any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated. --Essam -- Essam Khairullah essam@gagme.chi.il.us I don't got no fancy signature.
