THEME.playSound

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The playSound method plays the specified sound file.

        theme.playSound(soundFile)

Parameters

soundFile

A String specifying the name of the sound file to play.

Return Value

This method does not return a value.

Remarks

This method allows you to add sound effects to a skin for example, when buttons are clicked. The sound is played by the operating system directly and not by Windows Media Player. This means that the sound cannot be controlled with Windows Media Player settings and methods, but it can be played while Windows Media Player is playing another digital media file.

This method supports WAV files only.

Version
Windows Media Player 9 Series or later
