Add a PlaySound() compilation error

[Jim W.]

The PlaySound() method requires that the named .wav file to play must exist in the C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6\sounds folder.

Suggestion: Add a compiler error if a PlaySound method's .wav file does not exist in the required folder.

Question: When upgrading to a new NT release, are user .wav files copied to the new \sounds folder? If not then please do.

You can use your own directory for sounds
Prefix it with @ and use dbl-quotes as shown below

PlaySound(@"C:\data\sounds\tink1.wav");


It's not documented in 'text' in the help , but the example shows its usage.

Thanks for the information.
