Start / Settings / Control Panel / Sounds It's a user-selectable configuration and as such a feature of using the standard message box. If you want to ensure no sound happens on any system then don't use MsgBox; display your own form instead. -- Reply to the group so all can participate VB.Net: "Fool me once..."
From: Dan on 15 Feb 2005 12:05 I want to be able to modify the sound just for a specific situation for which I'm displaying a message box. For example, I want to use a different sound for an error message box than for an information message box than for a question message box. I know they can be different if I set them differently in the Control Panel, but I want to change them only for certain situations. Is there a way to change the system sound definitions from within a program (as you would by using the Control Panel)? How do I refer to the different system sounds from within a program? Where do I find the message box icons if I have to design my own form to do the same thing? Thanks for your help! -Dan "Bob Butler" wrote: > "Dan" <Dan(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:98D2F340- > FBE2-4A4A-8A6B-57BF52CAA0CF(a)microsoft.com > > Is there a way to turn off the beep when a msgbox is displayed? > > Start / Settings / Control Panel / Sounds > > It's a user-selectable configuration and as such a feature of using the > standard message box.

Then you want to use your own forms and play the specific sounds you need; you should also make an option to disable them (I personal *despise* software that uses sounds and always disable the speaker). > Is there a way to change the system sound definitions from within a > program (as you would by using the Control Panel)? Probably, but it's a nasty thing to do since it would affect all running apps, not just yours. > How do I refer to the different system sounds from within a program? Since you want specific sounds it wouldn't be a good idea to rely on system sounds. Use your own via the PlaySound or other API calls. > Where do I find the message box icons if I have to design my own form > to do the same thing? Offhand I don't know; Sinc eyou are doing custom forms I'd make custom icons. -- Reply to the group so all can participate VB.Net: "Fool me once..."

Whenever I work on someone else's machine the noises make me jump Heh, back in the DOS days one of our guys came up with the 'silent beep' - a big red expanding message box saying ... BEEP |
