Using Play_Start COM command

[Harry L. Roberts]

I maybe having a similar problem.

 

I'm trying to do the following;

 

strFileToPlay = "C:\1stMy.wav"

PlayWAVFile iLineID, strFileToPlay

strFileToPlay = "C:\2ndMy.wav"

PlayWAVFile iLineID, strFileToPlay



Sub PlayWAVFile(ByVal iLineID, ByVal strFileToPlay)

    set Objvg = CreateObject("VoiceGuide.CommandLink")
         Objvg.Play_Start iLineID, strFileToPlay 
    set Objvg = Nothing

End Sub

 

Actual file names were not used.

 

What happens is the first file starts to play and then the Second file starts to play before the first file is finished playing.

 

What can I do to let the first file play completely before the second file begins to play?

Trace is Attached.

 

As you can see as soon as the 2nd file begins to play the 1st one stops. That makes sense.

 

How can I start playing the 2nd file only after the 1st file is finished playing?

 

I'm sure there is something very simple that I'm overlooking.

What happens is the first file starts to play and then the Second file starts to play before the first file is finished playing.

Issuing a Play_Start COM command will resuklt in VG stopping whatever is being played or recorded on the line and the newly supplied sound file will begin playing.

How can I start playing the 2nd file only after the 1st file is finished playing?

You will need specify the files to be played in one call. Try this:

strFileToPlay = "C:\1stMy.wav,C:\2ndMy.wav"
PlayWAVFile iLineID, strFileToPlay

Sub PlayWAVFile(ByVal iLineID, ByVal strFileToPlay)
   set Objvg = CreateObject("VoiceGuide.CommandLink")
   Objvg.Play_Start iLineID, strFileToPlay 
   set Objvg = Nothing
End Sub
