Where is MessageBeep?

[Andy Bates]

I'm intrigued, MessageBox has gone to MessageBox.Show; but where is
MessageBeep?

I've trawled the help and cannot find any reference to it! The only instance
I've seen is using the following to import it from user32.dll:

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern bool MessageBeep(BeepType beepType);

Surely MessageBeep cannot have been omitted from the framework.

TIA

Yep....In C# namespace anyway.

Include the VisualBasic.net rumtime dll

import this namespace: using Microsoft.VisualBasic;

Now you have access to the manged function:

Interaction.Beep();

But thats is hove far you get. Else you should look at:

Hope it helps

Hi Andy,

Thanks for your post!

It seems the .Net Framework doen't provided the MessageBeep() interface,
however I think it is not very complicated to load it via Win32 library.

The following article have told some reasons why the Framwork hasn't
provided managed interfaces to many common Win32 operations and have some
examples about how to call Win32 API in .NET programe, maybe you have
already read it.
