Sound Alert Problem

[Aletrader]

Hello there,
I'va a small problem with my audio alert.

I added this code:

fpArray[x] = new FunctionParameter("AlertOn", FunctionParameter.STRING);
with(fpArray[x++]){
setName("Alert");
addOption("OFF");
addOption("Warning");
addOption("ding");
setDefault("Warning");

Then I added this code:

if(AlertOn="OFF");
Alert.playSound(AlertOn+".wav");


The code seems correct but I get an other sound (I think a default sound from windows system) and not what I listed in the FunctionParameter.

Any suggest?

Re: Sound Alert Problem

Hi Aletrader,

It doesn't look like you have things set up correctly. Take a look at this link.

If you still have problems, you should post a working efs.

hope this helps,

Steve

Hi Steve, thank you for prompt reply. The link that you posted was my first solution but then I decide to add some options to control these once from the chart properties...

Hi Aletrader,

You're welcome, the conditional you listed is a bit off, try this...

if(AlertOn=="OFF"){
// do nothing
}
else{
Alert.playSound(AlertOn+".wav");
}

Thank you Steve, I tried your code but I got the same sound. The sound that I get is not here: C:\Program Files (x86)\eSignal\Sounds

The sound that I get is in that folder:
C:\Windows\Media\ding.wav

Any ideas?

Hi Aletrader,

You are welcome. Is your Sound Files Root folder setup correctly? Check out tutorial 1 - Intro for the Sound Files Root folder location.

If this isn't it, you should post the efs you are having problems with. See the posting guidelines for some guidance.

I suggest using the "Attach File:" feature in your reply. Be careful if you attach your file, then preview your post (before posting). Previewing the post will cause the file you attached to be removed. I recommend attaching your file just prior to posting to prevent this.

Hi Steve,
I tried everything without success.
The sound file root is correct.
In attachment part of the code

Thank you guys
