Built-In Audio Sound / Sound File Program Delay

[zeller4]

Hello,

I have a "managed" strat that produces the built-in sounds when a stop is filled or an order is pending, filled, or cancelled, etc. Is there a manner to override these sounds individually within a custom code? ie, some of the sounds may be appropriate where the are, others are played ontop of other previous sound alerts and create a garbled message.

ie "order-filled/order-/order-pending"... when an entry is placed and a stop and target are placed subsequent to the entry. one of the alerts gets "stepped on".

Also, please provide a sample code that would allow one alert and then a follow up alert from a separate .wav file which would not "step on" the first.

ie PlaySound("ding.wav"); (some variable delay) PlaySound("dong.wav");

Thanks,
Kirk

Hi Kirk,

This must all be custom coded. Unfortunately I'm not aware of snippets that you could easily modify to enforce non-concurrent sound playback from multiple commands sent at the same time.

This thread has some ideas for multiple sound files playback:

Easiest way may be to combine multiple sound files into one.

If you want to get started custom coding, I would take a look at what is possible with .net DateTime. The following sample can help work with this:

Hello,

You can turn her voice off by going to Tools -> Options -> On the General tab you will see a list of sounds that can be unchecked to disable.

Once NinjaTrader has made its first sound you can lower the volume by going to your windows volume mixer in the bottom right and manually adjusting the NinjaTrader volume

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Not unless you put it there. You have the option so to do when you access the Volume Control Panel applet.

From the Control Panel. It is the Volume Applet.

In Windez XP, you get to it from Control Panel --> Sounds and Audio Devices.

In Windez 7, you will have to access it from Control Panel --> Notification Area Icons.
