--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
#include<iostream>
using namespacestd;

char DllDir[256]="";

string getDllDirFile(const char* basename)
{
if(strstr(basename,"..")){ return ":*?\\/<>\""; }
string ret = DllDir;
return (ret+basename);
}
void PlaySnd(char *Sound)
{
sndPlaySound(getDllDirFile(Sound).c_str(),SND_ASYNC);
}

in DLLMAIN

GetModuleFileName(hinstDll,DllDir,255);
char* pos = DllDir+strlen(DllDir);
while(pos>=DllDir && *pos!='\\') --pos;
pos[1]=0;

now to play a sound, PlaySnd("menu_activated.wav");

this code will look for the file menu_activate in the same directory as the dll.
