Add Custom Sounds

[MJT]

I have seen other posts where we are discouraged from changing anything in the NinjaTrader directories under 'Program Files'. However, I want to add custom sounds to be used within an indicator, and I can't see a way to specify an alternative file location.
So, my question - Is it acceptable for me to add additional .wav files to the 'Program Files/NinjaTrader/Sounds' directory ?

thanks,

I suppose you're referring to the PlaySound method.

You can specify any file with absolute path name in PlaySound. This file then may reside anywhere on your PC.

Thanks Dierk,
Could you give a code example for PlaySound(), as the help guide contains the following regarding the .wav file:
"Files must exist in the C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6\sounds folder".

Try something like PlaySound(@"c:\<whereever-you-want-to-locate-your-file");

that worked for me, thank you.
