sounds added dont work

[simpletrades]

How do make the sound alert for this? i copied part of it below:
i tried it with Alert() which I //'d out below and with PlaySound() which was my latest try. The re-coloring works fine.

// Condition set 2
if (High[0]-Low[0] >= (TickSize*dist) //0.1
&& Close[0] < Open[0])//&&Open[0]-Close[0]>=0.1)
{
BarColor = Color.DeepPink;
}
if (AlertBool == true)
// Alert("size",NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.Medium, " dn barsize","Alert2.wav",0,BarColor,Color.DeepPink);
PlaySound(@"C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 7\sounds\Alert1.wav");

In the Properties section I have this:

[Description("Sound and display an alert with Alerts window open ")]
[Category("Parameters")]
[Gui.Design.DisplayNameAttribute("Alert on Begin/End?")]
publicbool AlertBool
{
get { return alertBool; }
set { alertBool = value; }
}

Hello,

Can you please add a print to line where the Sounds should make noise. As I would expect it to do so. Also please make sure the file path is good and the file is there and plays.

I look forward to assisting you further.

what does that mean in english?

Add the following.

if (AlertBool == true && !Historical)
{
// Alert("size",NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.Medium, " dn barsize","Alert2.wav",0,BarColor,Color.DeepPink);
PlaySound(@"C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 7\sounds\Alert1.wav");

Print(Time[0] + " : MY SOUNDS SHOULD HAVE WORKED");
}


Then check in the output window->Control Center->Tools->Output window.

Do you see my sounds should have worked there?

[simpletrades]

i'll try that.
i know the sound plays because if i only have
if (AlertBool == true)
PlaySound(Alert1.wav");

it alerts every tick.

Hello,

Also, can you please go manually to this folder location and try to play the file with a media player such as windows media player does it play and you can hear the sound?

C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 7\sounds\Alert1.wav

[simpletrades]

i tried that when i first wrote the line because i copied it from a 6.5 script and didnt know if Alert1 was in the 7 sounds folder or if i needed to call it 7 or 7.0
it did work.

ok and the results of our test with the print line? You got the print but did not get sound correct?
