audio alert upon completion of a bar

[ctrlbrk]

With the code you had posted, playedaudio will be true after bar 1 and continuing forever, it is not reset to false ever.

You need the

if (FirstTickOfBar)
playedaudio = false;

Put it above this line:
if (Bars.PercentComplete>.91666 && !playedaudio)

What error were you receiving?

OK!!!

It works. There is NO way I could have done this alone.
Thanks ctrlbrk and others. (Do you get paid for this, by NT, seriously.)

Anyway, I think that using a text to speech setup, like the one
on-line someone long ago mentioned, one can make audio alerts
more professional and easier to understand. There is no "I forgot
what that sound means." OR "This sound means one of two things."

You are very welcome Stephen.

I am up working on my strategies, and in between compiling/re-loading was responding on the forum. No biggie, I enjoy it. And for all the complaining I do on other NT threads to the NT team, I try to balance it out by helping others as much as I can, making their job easier if possible

There are ways to incorporate TTS directly into C#, allowing it to speak any string. However, I've not been bold enough to wade through it yet. For now, like you, I just use recorded wav files with a speaking voice to tell me what event was triggered. I use the AT&T TTS website which generously allows easy downloading of the wav file, and multiple voices to choose from.

Yes, I used the AT&T site as well. I then used Audacity
to make the WAV file, though as I looked more closely
at their site, I'm probably doing it the hard way (as usual).

See you around,
