recording sound

[pramod_mb]

i wanted to know if anybody could help me record sound using VB

You would need to know how to use the API sections that comes with windows 95 or 98. But why doing it by the hard way. Just call the sound recorder program from you application. This is the way to call it

Shell "c:\windows\sndrec32.exe" where c: is your hard drive letter.

thnx for ur suggestions..
I wanted to have the interface of the sound recording integrated with my form .
By using sndrec32.exe i think that would not be possible
I would prefer getting to learn APIs
Any suggestion any good site on API usage or downloading API tutorials ..

If you speak spanish let me know. I was the one that sent it before. I have a book that talks about it, but its in spanish. Maybee if you see it you could understand it.

Ore you could use the .ocx that comes with windows 95 and 98. Whith this .ocx you could do it and play .avi pictures if you want. Is the one that windows uses to show their program examples in the install cd. In the component menu will apear in Windows Media Player.

I hope this will help you. Send me an e-mail at adcomp@coqui.net if you have any question.

Well, I guess Bad Luck to me - I don't know Spanish ..
About the OCX file - I would like to know more about it . Windows Media Player - I thought was used only for playing the sound and movie file (not recording ) . Any additional info appreciated ..
Infact I thought that the recording could be done using the MMC control ( i did see a record button there ) . Well, I could not figure out how to do it ..
