Sound help

So I have some questions about sound functions.I'll start with the one that might help me resolve other preoblems regarding sound.

I know I can use _SoundPos($sound, 2) to get the position of sound and I need something like If _SoundPos($sound, 2) => 5000 then something.So, how can I use _SoundPos($sound, 1) => 00:00:05 ?It's not working this way and getting the time in hh:mm:ss might help me in this case.I will post my code too if this doesn't do what I want..

Thank you for your help.

_SoundPos($sound, 1) => 00:00:05

You cannot compare a string because its numerical representation is always zero, what is the problem when you use _SoundPos($sound, 2) => 5000

Use this otherwise

#include <Date.au3>


$sTime = "00:00:05"
$aSoundTick = StringRegExp($sTime, "[^:]+", 3)

$iTicks = _TimeToTicks($aSoundTick[0], $aSoundTick[1], $aSoundTick[2])

MsgBox(0, 0, $iTicks)

;Use this otherwise
#cs
;If _SoundPos($sound, 2) => $iTicks Then
#ce

or this - into one function

$sTime = "00:00:05"
MsgBox(0, 0, _TimeToTicksEx($sTime))

Func _TimeToTicksEx($iString)

$aSoundTick = StringRegExp($sTime, "[^:]+", 3)
$iHours = $aSoundTick[0]
$iMins = $aSoundTick[1]
$iSecs = $aSoundTick[2]

If StringIsInt($iHours) And StringIsInt($iMins) And StringIsInt($iSecs) Then
Local $iTicks = 1000 * ((3600 * $iHours) + (60 * $iMins) + $iSecs)
Return $iTicks
Else
Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_TimeToTicksEx

#cs

If _SoundPos($sound, 2) => _TimeToTicksEx("00:00:05") Then

#ce

Thanks for the methods.

Ok.I messed around a bit with the first one and it does the same thing my function does.The second one seems about the same.And some dum question :

In $iTicks = _TimeToTicks($aSoundTick[0], $aSoundTick[1], $aSoundTick[2]) what are [0], [1] and [2] for?Are they like tick for hour [0], tick for minutes [1] and tick for seconds [2] ?( i don't really get how this tick thing works)

But anyway it does the same thing as my function (loopmusc()).I think I need to use something different like update cause what I want is to play a song when gui starts (did this) and loop the song.I also have some buttons and while the button b1 runs a script the song will loop after another 5 seconds(loops the song every 8-9 seconds instead of every 5 seconds when the b1 script is running) and I think i would need an update function or something like that for the song when it's running another script..

I attached the files here and if you have any idea please tell me what i sould do.It 's quite some disorder because I tested your function for button b1 and for gui, but it's the same if you replace that soundtick lines with loopmusc()

I appreciate your help.

Sorry.I think I confused you.What I wanted was looping the sound (not specifically 5 or 8 seconds)..I really looked in the soundstatus, but I didn't know I could = it with values like "stopped" or "parked", because the example didn't use it like that (still don't know why i didn't try it) ..

I have another problem now When I click button b2 it will show a messagebox, but if I wait till the song stops, it doesn't loop anymore, also when the messagebox is up no hotkeys work..I think it's because it's another window, but then how can I give focus to both windows ( both the GUI and the messagebox ) so that the message box will stay on top of the GUI and the hotkeys will work and the sound will loop?

Here's the cleaned code :

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <Sound.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <Date.au3>
Global $blmusicstop = False, $blmusvol = False, $blloopmus = False
#region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$hGUI = GUICreate("window", 301, 301)
$iButton1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("b1", 150, 150)
$iButton2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("b2", 190, 190)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)
WinSetOnTop("window", "", 1)
#endregion ### END Koda GUI section ###
Global $sound = _SoundOpen(".\resourc\play.wmv")
_SoundPlay($sound)
HotKeySet("{m}", "Stopmusic")
HotKeySet("{v}", "musvol")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
While 1

$iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $iMsg
  Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
   Exit
Case $iButton1
while 1
If _SoundStatus($sound) = "stopped" Then
_SoundSeek($sound, 0, 0, 0)
_SoundPlay($sound)
EndIf

mousemove(600,700)
mouseclick("")
sleep(1000)
mousemove(800,600)
mouseclick("")
WEnd

Case $iButton2
Sleep(10)
If _SoundStatus($sound) = "stopped" Then
_SoundSeek($sound, 0, 0, 0)
_SoundPlay($sound)
EndIf

WinSetOnTop("window", "", 0)
WinSetOnTop("Help", "", 1)
 MsgBox(0, "Help", "bla" & @LF & "bla2")
WinSetOnTop("window", "", 1)
EndSwitch
Sleep(10)
If _SoundStatus($sound) = "stopped" Then
_SoundSeek($sound, 0, 0, 0)
_SoundPlay($sound)
EndIf

WEnd


Func Stopmusic() ; stopmusic function
 $blmusicstop = Not $blmusicstop
 If $blmusicstop Then
  _SoundPause($sound)
 Else
  _SoundResume($sound)
EndIf
EndFunc ;==>toggle pause/resume

 $blmusvol = Not $blmusvol
 If $blmusvol Then

trnew,

MsgBox is an API blocking function so nothing in the script works until you return. I suggest using my ExtMsgBox UDF - look in my sig for the link - as that allows the HotKeys to remain active. :)

Edit: 15k!

You would need another process for asynchronous MsgBox

Have a look

$iButton1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("b1", 150, 150)
$iButton2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("b2", 190, 190)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)
WinSetOnTop("window", "", 1)
#endregion ### END Koda GUI section ###
Global $sound = _SoundOpen(".\resourc\play.wmv")
_SoundPlay($sound)
HotKeySet("{m}", "Stopmusic")
HotKeySet("{v}", "musvol")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
While 1

$iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $iMsg

EndIf

MouseMove(600, 700)
MouseClick("")
Sleep(1000)
MouseMove(800, 600)
MouseClick("")
WEnd

Case $iButton2
Sleep(10)
;Doesn't required since its in the main loop

EndSwitch
Sleep(10)

_SoundSeek($sound, 0, 0, 0)

EndIf

WEnd

$pid = Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "MsgBox( ' & $iFlag & ', ""' & $sTitle & '"", ""' & $sText & '"", ' & $iTimeout & ', ' & $Hwnd & ')"')
EndFunc

edit : M23's suggestion should be more helpful

Let me be the first to say it

Congrats! :thumbsup:

--

@PhoenixXL

Let me thank you very much.That was exactly what I needed.Now I'll look more into all that. :)

---

@Melba23

I'd try it that way, but I want to understand a function and your function is just...way too complicated for me to understand.

----

Well, I do have some questions:

In MsgBoxAsync(0, "Help", "bla" & @LF & "bla2", 0, $hGUI) I have to mention $hGUI so that the msgbox window would have the same properties as $hGUI has and only then it will be on top?( I don't really understand how it works )

In Func MsgBoxAsync($iFlag, $sTitle, $sText, $iTimeout = 0, $Hwnd = 0, $iExit = False) what is $iExit?Is there a full list with those $variables (like $iFlag...) autoit works with(not just the ones for the msgbox function)?

Thank you.
