Sound Alert for Volume Indicator

By itsallover, in Coding Forum

Hi all,

Can someone please help me add some code into an existing metatrader indicator.

 

The indicator I need adding to is called the 'better volume V1.4'. I need code to sound an alert when a volume bar changes colour to:

 

1. White

2.Red

 

 

I'd also like the option to chose the Timeframes for the alert. Eg 15 Min, 30Min and 1 Hr.

 

Below is the Better Volume code with an attempt to add on a sound alert. It didn't work.

Please help.

Thanx
