Hi there,
Im trying to use the PlaySnd API to play a system sound, such as
"Asterisk" or "Question" within the windows section. Anyone got any ideas
on how this is done? I've tried using the SND_APPLICATION and SND_ALIAS
flags but I'm thinking that my name isnt correct in the first place, should
I be using "Windows\Asteri sk"? Thanks in advance.

Okay well I've found some of the keys I need to use but not yet
unfortunately, for anyone elses reference you can achieve it via the
following,
Private Const SND_PURGE As Integer = &H40
Private Const SND_APPLICATION As Integer = &H80
Private Const SND_ASYNC As Integer = &H1
Private Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "PlaySoundA " (ByVal
lpszName As String, ByVal hModule As Integer, ByVal dwFlags As Integer) As
Integer
PlaySound(<name >, Nothing, SND_PURGE Or SND_ASYNC Or SND_APPLICATION )
<name> - SystemAsterisk
<name> - SystemHand
<name> - SystemExclamati on
<name> - SystemQuestion
..... Still looking for more..

I am curious why you do not use 'MessageBeep':

sound and the dialog displays again... So I only want to know how to play the
sound in question.

Hi again,
I have run into a problem with the System.Media.Soundplayer class,
notably the Play method. The sound that plays gets garbled about 50% of
the time, usually at the end, when it finishes with white noise or a
high pitch noise. If I use PlaySync it plays it fine.
I COULD create a thread and execute the Play method via the thread, but
that leaves me with the problem of stopping the sound. Terminating the
thread doesn't kill the...

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.
