How to include a Wav File in your Exe

Title: How to include a Wav File in your Exe STEP 1: Create a resource script file (*.RC) with a simple text editor like Notepad and add the following line:} 1 WAVE "MyWav.wav" {The '1' is simply the index of the resource. The 'WAVE' specifies that we are dealing with a WAVE FILE user-defined resource. The third and final entry is the name of the Wav file. STEP 2: Save the file as MyWav.RC STEP 3: User Borland's Resource Compiler, BRCC32.EXE, to compile it into a .RES file. At the MS-DOS command line, type:} BRCC32 MyWav.RC {This will create a resource file called MyWav.RES. STEP 4: Add a compiler directive to the source code of your program. It should immediately follow the form directive, as shown here:} {$R *.DFM} {$R MyWAV.RES} {STEP 5: Add the following code to your project to play the sound: } procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); begin PlaySound(PChar(1), hInstance, SND_ASYNC or SND_MEMORY or SND_RESOURCE); end; { You can add as many .Wav files as you want, just by adding another index number to your list, and call it using the PChar(index) in the PlaySound line. Hint: MMSystem must be included in the uses clause! }
