I've a big interrogation concerning sound playback (WMP.lib)!
This code should play a sound, then compute...but it computes then play the sound!
I thought that I perhaps should run the sound in a thread to be sure that it's played by its own!?
But this gives the same result
How should I please proceed to hear my sound 'instantly'?
What's my mistake?
Thanks for your help!!

Code:
Class MainWindow
Dim writingPath As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory) & "\_UI Sounds\"
Dim uiPlayer As New WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer
Private Sub MainWindow_Loaded(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Me.Loaded
RunTest()
End Sub
Private Sub RunTest()
Debug.Print("Started!")
uiPlayer.URL = writingPath & "son1.wav"
uiPlayer.controls.play()
'
Dim a As Integer = 0
For i As Integer = 0 To 999999999
a = i
Next
Debug.Print("Done!")
End Sub
End ClassBut this gives the same result
Code:
Imports System.Threading
Class MainWindow
Dim writingPath As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory) & "\_UI Sounds\"
Dim uiPlayer As New WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer
Dim uiThread As Thread = New Thread(AddressOf PlayFile)
Private Sub MainWindow_Loaded(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Me.Loaded
RunTest()
End Sub
Private Sub RunTest()
uiThread = New Thread(AddressOf PlayFile)
uiThread.Start()
'
Debug.Print("Started!")
Dim a As Integer = 0
For i As Integer = 0 To 999999999
a = i
Next
Debug.Print("Done!")
End Sub
Private Sub PlayFile()
uiPlayer.URL = writingPath & "son1.wav"
uiPlayer.controls.play()
End Sub
End ClassWhat's my mistake?
