PlaySound funtion

[Cogito]

Chaps and Chapettes,

Program in C++.

Im doing a project to detect a defined marker, then play the relevent
sound when it can no longer be seen.
It worked well when using the beep function.

if( config->//not visivle ) Beep(176,20);

But when I run with the code below it either plays the error tone
which suggests it can't find the file (even though its in the local
directiory) or it crashes.
if( config-//not visivble ) PlaySound('test' , NULL, SND_FILENAME |
SND_ASYNC);

Any suggestions as to where my mistake is?

Thanks for your time.

Asking this question on comp.lang.c perhaps?

Try a group that knows something about the OS you're using.

Isn't that a syntax error even in C++?

`PlaySound` isn't a Standard C function. I suspect you need a newsgroup
in which that library is topical.

As a random suggestion, try giving the filename argument a /complete/
filename, including the directory path and any suffix if there's supposed
to be one. (Maybe your directory browser is helpfully suppressing a
..snd suffix, or something like that.)

This is comp.lang.c; comp.lang.c++ is that way -(but you're still
mostly off-topic there as well).

if( config->//not visivle ) Beep(176,20);

It's "visible", which I feel the need to point out since you failed to
spell it correctly in two separate ways in your post. Cut-and-paste
is your friend.

if( config-//not visivble ) PlaySound('test' , NULL, SND_FILENAME |
SND_ASYNC);

Maybe you meant

if( config-//not visivble ) PlaySound("test" , NULL, SND_FILENAME |

Those double quotes are probably important. If that's not your
problem you'll definitely want to consider

Try a group that knows something about the OS you're using.

Besides which, in C++, the statement:

if (config->
SND_ASYNC);

and in C the statement portion

if (config-//not

is either a syntax error (C90) or the same as the above (C99).
"/not" is not a valid identifier.

doesn't seem to do much.
