Vb.net Application Sounds Using the Registry to save sounds

Recommended Posts

I wrote an application that uses different sounds for various alarms. ?I've managed to create the appropriate keys in the registry so that my program shows up in sound settings, allowing the user to change the sounds from Windows' control panel.Now for my BIGGEST problem... ?I don't know how to get those sounds to play! ?I'm trying to read the values out of the registry keys, but I keep coming up with nothing, rather than the value stored in the key. ?HELP?!?!?!(Sound names are stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\DANotifier\ while the keys for the various alarms are 1 Hour, 12 Hours, 24 Hours, and After Hours. ?Each key has a .default and .current underneath. ?I'm trying to read .current)

Now for my BIGGEST problem... I don't know how to get those sounds to play! I'm trying to read the values out of the registry keys, but I keep coming up with nothing, rather than the value stored in the key. HELP?!?!?!
