Have a look into include/mmsystem.h
There are many functions that support midi

for example:
low level functions as: midiOutShortMsg()
high level functions as: mciSendString("play ...")
                         mciSendCommand(...)

Hello, all.

If the answer to the following question is in a FAQ somewhere, could
someone please direct me towards it?  Also, any other literature on the
subject would be greatly helpful.  Thanks!

I am trying to read from and write to a MIDI device with Visual C++.  I
am writing some educational music software and I want to be able
to play notes on my MIDI device and read notes that are played in by
a student to get answers to questions.  I cannot figure out how this
is done using MVC++ 1.0 (Standard Edition).  If someone could describe to
me the function calls, or macros, or however it is I can do this I
would be most grateful.  If I need some supplemental library, I need
to know that too so I can go out and get it.

Regards,
Benjamin
