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..
