Getting and Setting the mic level

[Guest]

I'm building a small app that will record a wave file and save it, nothing
really fancy. What I would like to add as a control to display the input
level coming in. I would think that this is something I could pull from the
windows api? I would also like to have a slider on the form to control the
input level. Any help on this would be great.

This should be possible by p/invoking the 'mixerSetControlDetails' function.
A VB6 sample can be found here:

Notice that this sample needs to be reworked in order to make it run in
VB.NET.
