Activate Winamp using VC++

[3377]

Can someone advice me how to use Visual C++ to call out Winamp to play an audio file? thks.;)

Winamp supports command line stuff, use the WinExec function.

Or you could use windows messages to be cool about it.

SDK knows all.

thks.. to all, I manage activate Winamp using ShellExec() command.

Now I have another problem, after compiling and building, there is always a C:\Debug\Wave.exe windows pop up with message : "Press any key to continue". Can deactivate it? thks.

You're probably compiling a console type application.

If you have downloaded Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2005 BETA, then all Win32 projects are console applications by default. You must specify Win32 GUI in the New project/solution screen.

That's my best advise.

There should also be a configuration option available if I'm not remembering wrong. I don't have access to VC++ 2005 Express BETA at the time of writing this so I can't really check.

Search on Microsoft.com... (though you won't find much).

Hi saivert, you are right. Is a console appl. However, I'm only using Visual C++ version 6.0. Pls attachment.

...using VC++ 2005 Express Beta since when you are creating a new project in VC++ 6.0 there is much clearer what is console and what is GUI.
