Added sound files are not playing ?!

[desander]

I downloaded two sound files (long.wav and short.wav) to C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\sounds
and included them in my existing indicator.
(see extract hereunder)
Then i clicked on "compile" and closed the edit-window.

Now the sounds are not playing when the conditions are met ?
What did i do wrong ?
Programming fault ?

The indicator is attached.

PS. Please detailed instructions, i am not a programmer !

double val = Low[bar+1] - ( TickSize * ArrowDisplacement );
DrawArrowUp(CurrentBar.ToString(),1, val , barColorUp );
//data[ data.Count - 1] = val * -1;
//setData( data, bar, val * -1 );
if (soundon && FirstTickOfBar){
PlaySound(@"C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\sounds\long.wav");
}
}
//else if( lastDirection > direction )
else if (Signal[0] == -1 && Signal[1] != -1)
{
double val = High[bar+1] + ( TickSize * ArrowDisplacement );
DrawArrowDown(CurrentBar.ToString(),1, val, barColorDown );
if (soundon && FirstTickOfBar){
PlaySound(@"C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\sounds\short.wav");

Gilbert, welcome to the forums - did you reload the indicator fresh after this programming change? You could do so by right clicking on the chart and selecting 'Reload NinjaScript'.

Originaly there was only this text i.s.o. my text :

PlaySound(WaveLongFileName);
and
PlaySound(WaveShortFileName);

and in the parameter setting window, it seemed that you simply had to put the name of your wav.file

but that also did not result in a sound playing...?

Am helpless !

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with your custom indicator(s), so best would be to contact the original author of those - do you see any errors in the log tab of the Control Center? Please also check if there's a toggle to turn sounds on / off and ensure it's set to 'enabled'.
