Hi,

I can't seem to get AG_PLAYSOUND to work. Am I doing something wrong?


Thanks,

Wow, I guess this isn't a very popular command! Either that or people read the documentation and hard-code the AG_PLAYSOUND opcode as 105 rather than using symbol from ashell.def. The AG_PLAYSOUND symbol was added 11 years ago, but was entered incorrectly as having value 104 instead of 105. It should look like this:

(Confusion was introduced by skipping 104, which is actually defined as a function that disable redraw for a control, but apparently was never documented on the theory that it was really only for internal use.)

You can download the corrected ashell.def file from the repository here.

While you're at it, you might as well execute UPDCUR in the SYS: directory to pick up the updated AGCMD.LIT utility so that it works properly with the PLAYSOUND command.

It is working now. Thank you!
