Not sure if this is necessarily a bug or what, but when I call sound playing() it's internal value doesn't seem to update unless sync is called.



Technically, the above code would more or less pause the application until the sound finished playing. However, it never exits the loop unless sync is used.

I managed a workaround using timer since I knew the length of the sound being played and it didn't have to be exact.

What on earth was that? Shouldn't those last two posts have been picked up by the new member post moderation procedure? If not, why not?

Someone obviously wasn't looking at what they approved. She's gone now though.

So if this was rejected, someone mind explaining it to me?

DBPro's internal housekeeping for sound and music isn't updated until you call either SYNC or FASTSYNC with a parameter of 1. It's the way it's designed.

If you want the sound status to be updated without updating the display, then you can do the following:
