Need to know the VB code of how to stop Playing sound through a click button

Hi All;

Please, if any one knows the visual basic code, to be added to a Stop button in order to stop playing some sound of (*.Wav) type. I have achieved to find the code for start playing sound or music which is:

OLE.DoVerb (vbOLEPrimary)

But the one to stop or interupt the sound I could not find it.

Please let know

Thank you in advance

Thank you very much for this reply, I did know it is so long like that, the code to start play some sound of ( .WAV ) type, uses OLE control, I though it is similar for stoping it too?

but any way I am going to try it and let you know

Thank you
