playing a system sound

I would like to know how to play a system sound like for exemple the
"beeping" sound often heard in Windows...

What I want to do is pretty simple. I have a dialog and when the user click
on the "Ok" button if the values entered are not good than we hear a beeing
sound and the dialog displays again... So I only want to know how to play the
sound in question.

thanx in adavance..

Instead of a beep sound playing as an alarm or reminder I would like to be able to play a more interesting sound. On the web, I found and tried a sound routine that uses the SOUND.DRV but it does not work for me. Maybe it would be best to try to play a small mp3 or wav file instead - does VB 6.0 have built-in support for sounds like that? Tom

Hi, I'm just trying to play a *.wav file, making use of the unmanaged function "sndPlaySoundA" in winmm.dll, but I still got one question: How can I avoid, that the sound file itself has to be seperate file in a specific directory, but instead 'integrate' it in my application? Thanks peter

Hi, is there a simple way to play a short audio file? Some of my users would like to hear "There is a new order for your approval" when ever the situation calls for it. Is this do-able? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just want quick and easy way to play a .wav file out the standard sound device. It could even be as simple as activating a sound assigned to an existing windows sound event. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. -Lee

I have an application that is designed for using with a bar code scanner. I want the user to know that the scan was complete and the data was entered, so I am playing a system sound after data entry.

Hi, I'm writing a simple wav player (like winamp) and using the SoundPlayer class in c# 2005. Using winform buttons, I can begin playing the sound and stop half-way through the sound using: myPlayer.Play() and myPlayer.Stop() methods which works great, but i want to know when the sound actually stops playing (so I can change my button's picture). If I raise a custom event after the myPlayer.Play()

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
