Fractal Trading Indicator
Renegade:
The second screenshot there has the sound code in it. Can you attach it here and post a link to the relevant documentation?
It looks like it may already have the necessary functionality in it, and that only needs to be enabled.
You can also try using this in the spot where you want to play the sound.
--- Code: C# ---System.Media.SoundPlayer myPlayer = new System.Media.SoundPlayer();myPlayer.SoundLocation = @"c:\some-sound-file.wav";myPlayer.Play();
However, make certain to replace "c:\some-sound-file.wav" with the proper path to the WAV file that you want to play. It MUST be a WAV file though. You cannot use MP3s or anything else.
Niceperson:
Thanks for your quick reply.
I added the code lines. These are highlighted on the attached screenshot.
No sound.
The sound file used by me is good file because I can hear it when clicked directly.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Renegade:
Try copying the wave file to another location under "My Documents" then try that. (In case there's a permissions problem.)
Next, if that doesn't work, remove the code I had there before and insert this:
--- Code: C# ---PlaySound(@"C:\mySound.wav");
From: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/index.html?playsound.htm
Fix the path there as well.
If you post the code itself rather than a screenshot, that makes it easier. (e.g. I'd like to see what's in the "using" directives.)
Niceperson:
The code is pasted below with the ' Using ' directives'. I have highlighted in RED the Play sound line code for easy reading.
The sound comes on each tick not on alert triangle. It is required only when the alert conditions are met.

@Niceperson: I added code tags around your code snippet for readability.
@Renegade: Line 47 was the red coloured line before I added the code tags.
