An Example C++ Program

Here is an example of what a program in the C++ language looks like. This particular program loads a .WAV file and then begins playing this song through the speakers. While the song plays the left-channel and right-channel audio samples are provided in real-time to the program. Via a loop that executes every .1 seconds, we walk through the latest batch of audio samples and determine the peak amplitude. Ten times a second we then display the detected peak volume on a stereo LED bar graph.

Every program // that employs the CSL framework requires this object // to provide infrastructure. cWinApp theApp( hInstance, pszCmdLine, APPNAME ); // Instantiate an instance of whatever class provides your // intended main window.
