PlaySound

[cangel]

my code for PlaySound is like this:

#include <windows.h>
#include <mmsystem.h> 
int main() 
{
PlaySound(L"release\\test16bit.wav", NULL, SND_SYNC); 
return 0; 
}

when I build it, I always got error like this:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol WinMain referenced in function WinMainCRTStartupHelper

Please help, I cannot figure out why I alway got this kind of error, How to fix it?
Thank you very much!

Did you link with winmm?

[cangel]

i change a little about the above code to add

#pragma comment(lib, "winmm")  

but still got the same link error

#include <windows.h> 
#include <mmsystem.h> 
#pragma comment(lib, "winmm") 
int main() 
{
PlaySound(L"release\\test16bit.wav", NULL, SND_SYNC); 
return 0; 
}

This pronlem usually turns up when you select Win32 Application which is a GUI application as the project type, and then write code for a Console Application (using int main () ).

Throw this project away, and start a new one, AND MAKE SURE that you select Win32 Console Application as the project type

and put the above code in the new project and see what happens.
