how to associate audio file with progress bar

[AnkitG]

Hi all,

I have a case in which I need to associate an audio file witha  progress bar. What I want to do is to able to play a audio file which will say " Process started.." Process going on" and process ends, and it shoud be synchronized with the progress bar. Is there a way to do this .

Please let me know

Thanks,

Ankit G

I think you can use windows media player progress bar activex object to replicate it in your application.

Is this an absolute necessity, or is it just "bling?"  If it is the latter, I could see it getting old really quickly.  Even if it was necessary, try not to make it too obtrusive or the technician will just mute the sound, defeating the purpose.

Are you referring to a LabVIEW horizontal/vertical progress bar, which basically has a U8 integer constantly written to it? Is this in a loop as it fills up?

If so, there is an entire palette that allows you to play waveforms. As you're writing to your progress bar the number, you can keep checking what that number is (event or case structure), and when it hits particular values, you play particular sounds. Here is a screenshot of that palette.
