Alert as well as PlaySound???

Trying to find a way to have an Alert("") as well as a PlaySound() within the one indicator. I read elsewhere, that it is only possible if you have some time between the Alert and PlaySound.

I have no programming skills, only programme assembly skills from code found elsewhere...

This was my non-working attempt below:


int cnt=GetTickCount();
Alert("The Message and Data that You Want");
while (GetTickCount() < cnt+500) //for 5 seconds after alert try to do this
{
PlaySound("Trade_On_EURUSD.wav");
GetTickCount();
}



Has any got any ideas please?
Thank you in advance...

P.S
Second thought was... Disabling all event sounds found in "Tools", "Options", "Events", then seeing if PlaySound() works then if the code read

Alert("");
PlaySound("Trade_On_EURUSD.wav");

This also did not work.

It's working here. Try putting alert after playsound.

Of course, sometimes its the simplest things I don't think of. It's the sounds that have the conflict. If I put the PlaySound, ahead of the silent sound of the Alert, the sound should work for the PlaySound and the pop up should still work for the alert.

Thanks a lot
I'll try it today...
