Why do you want to change the sound volume ? It's something you should let the user change if he wants to. I always hate applications which change my sound volume inadvertently.

If you are using OS X it's easy just type:

Code: Select all

do "set volume output volume 80" as applescript

If you're on Windows.. well... good luck.

I want to use a slider to let the user to change the sound volume, but it seems that it is impossible.

Thanks!

P.S. I am using Mac OS 9

you can set the playloudness of your own sounds, but to set stuff of the os, you need an external,shell or applescript workaround.

You can use the slider to do that by reading its "thumbPosition" propriety.
