Generating Beeps

[asm338s]

Is it possible to produce beeps when there is a warning message displayed in the program?

This depends on what OS, whether the system has a sound card, and whether you are refering to warnings your application or VFP generates. Try:

Declare long Beep IN WIN32API AS myBeep ;
long dwFreq, long dwDuration

myBeep(1500,100)
myBeep(1500,1000)
myBeep(2000,100)
myBeep(500,100)

Using MESSAGEBOX() or ??CHR(7) will work. CHR(7) will make a beep on the pc speaker if you don't have external speakers. MESSAGEBOX() uses the Window's sounds:

MESSAGEBOX("Error occurred", 16, "Notice&quot

or

??CHR(7)
WAIT WINDOW 'Error occurred' TIMEOUT 5

and you can also change the "beep" to any .wav files that you want with
SET BELL TO "filename.wav"..
then use
SET BELL TO
to get the default beep back..

have fun!
