Beep Beep !!!

[rkbnair]

Is there any way to make a simple bell( Our 'Good Old' beep ) sound in my
NT/Windows 95 machines in this era of RAD.

I believe with the advancement of sound cards etc. they removed a simple
thing out. Right?

Regs,
RK.

Jon,

Tried in my NT machine and silence is the result.

MessageBeep -1

That appears to do the same thing as the Beep statement. On my system both
result in nothing happening because I have the "No Sounds" scheme configured
in the control panel. I also have the speaker disabled because I despise
applications that make noise. To force a sound to play on my system the app
would have to enable the speaker, increase the volume from zero and play a
WAV or sosme other sound file. Thankfully I haven't run into anything that
goes that far yet.

Do you have a sound card? Remove it and try again.

Do you hear normal beeps (from msgboxes)?
If no, I'd check it is actually set to make a noise.

Perhaps, for people like you, I'll have to start using a high ZOrder PictureBox, normally
invisible, with the word BEEP in large red letters and make it visible for a second or two
when the Beep should sound. <g>

Beep activates System Speaker which is a system device. If it doesn't make
any sound - means it is disabled or no driver installed. Go to Control Panel
and check your device manager.
