This section gives a brief overview of the sample application programs provided with the Toolkit, including programming concepts and program flow diagrams for each of the sample programs.
The purpose of the OS/2 multimedia sample programs is to illustrate multimedia programming concepts and establish a basis for creating your own multimedia applications. The programs provide you with practical examples that span a range of multimedia concepts. The source code provided shows you how to use multimedia controls and functions to create multimedia applications. Each sample program serves as a template that can be modified easily to meet your multimedia application requirements. The samples were compiled and verified using the IBM C Set ++ and VisualAge C++ compilers.
Some samples require specific hardware devices. Without these devices, you can still compile and run the sample programs; however, you might not receive the full effect of the program. For example, if a sample program has audio, you will not hear it unless you have a supported audio adapter and speakers installed.
