Reproducir un archivo MIDI

En el ejemplo siguiente se abre un dispositivo de secuenciador MIDI, se comprueba que el asignador MIDI se seleccionó como puerto de salida, reproduce el archivo MIDI especificado por el parámetro lpszMIDIFileName y cierra el dispositivo una vez completada la reproducción. Usa la función mciSendCommand .

// Plays a specified MIDI file by using MCI_OPEN and MCI_PLAY. Returns 
// as soon as playback begins. The window procedure function for the 
// specified window will be notified when playback is complete. 
// Returns 0L on success; otherwise, it returns an MCI error code.
