how to sound the Windows Bell sound myself

Hello
How can I sound the Windows bell sound that is heard when a MessageBox is
displayed in my own code?

Thanks,

Gino

Re:how to sound the Windows Bell sound myself


Hello
Thanks for responding.
Isn't there a way to do this without all that code to play the sound?
In DOS, printing Chr (7) does this.
I wanted to have Windows do this in case that sound file is missing or
different and Windows is using a different file.
See what I am saying?

Gino

Use the Beep procedure for the default sound or the MessageBeep( )
procedure to specify which sound you want.

Yes, the standard-beep is generated with:

MessageBeep($ffffffff);
