Hi @ll

How can I play a beep with the speaker in the computer (Like the beep when switching the chest on) and how can I set the duration and the frequency of the beep?

I'm not sure this goes over the PC speaker, i think it goes via soundcard if exist.
And no beep under w95, but a WAV.
API docs say:

Code: Select all

Windows NT:

The Beep function is synchronous in all but one case; 
the function does not generally return control to its caller 
until the sound finishes. The exception to this occurs when 
dwDuration has the value  - 1. In that case, Beep is asynchronous, 
returning control immediately to its caller while the sound 
continues playing. The sound continues until the next call to Beep. 

Windows 95:

The Beep function ignores the dwFreq and dwDuration parameters. 
On computers with a sound card, the function plays the default sound event. 
On computers without a sound card, the function plays the standard system beep.

But maybe this is what you need?

Suppose you could use the beep command in the hardware lib I wrote..
goto http://www.doobreynet.co.uk to get it.

I know it`s labelled a beta state lib, but it should be pretty solid..over 80 people have downloaded it so far, but as usual, user feedback is ZERO !

Does that mean it`s solid, or a pile of crap that doesn`t even justify filling out a bug report ?
Sometimes I wonder why I bother releasing stuff..maybe I wont bother in future.

Well when I released PureGUI I had ONE user feedback.
So your experience is really bad.

The curious thing is, that when I announced PureGUI the topic had a bunch of replys and it seemed that many users would be interested in...

BTW: I downloaded your files too, but I don't use it - that's why no feedback from my side.

That's why I stopped coding an IDE written in PureBasic (PureGuide).
It doesn't make sense

...according to one PureBasic user, it had a @!%$# name anyway

For now I'm coding on a game (despite of his name...).
You don't need feedback to have fun.
Code with PureBasic and start playing

Have a nice day...

Sometimes you have to go a lonely way to accomplish genius things.

Maybe there were no bugs to report and all works fine for its users.

So what? "No news is good news" is how the saying goes...

You should be glad that you weren't flooded with bug reports, IMO.

BTW, this post of yours was the first I saw about your lib/site, so
that's why I've never downloaded anything of yours...

First time i hear from it also, will get today en test...
My main intrest is hardware acces, SMBus, I2C sensors..etc..so maybe i can use

Hey Franco,

In the new PB editor, you could do much more with pureGui to generate code...next week released i think...big surprise
So don't give up yet

Because it works only on WinNT/2k/(XP?)
and not for Win9x/ME. See description above.

If it doesnt work for you on this systems,
your speaker is broken/not used or you have
set the loudness very low (some systems can
set loudness of internal speaker).

Code that I wrote is bugless? maybe hell has frozen over

Some of my code has been so buggy, Microsoft tried to headhunt me..

So what? "No news is good news" is how the saying goes...

True..I normally discover bugs about 10 secs after I upload the files!
BTW..I`ve found a 100% working method of bugfixing.. sit on the toilet for 10 mins, and the buggy line just seems to appear in your mind, or maybe thats just me ?

BTW, this post of yours was the first I saw about your lib/site, so
that's why I've never downloaded anything of yours...

I did announce it in the announce part of this forum, but strangely that post seems to have vanished!

Anyway, I don`t really care if I get feedback or not.. I code for fun,writing stuff I want to learn about, or little apps that I need from time to time.
If I don`t get feedback, and the program suits my needs, then there`s no point in me spending more time doing updates.

Oh well, back to trying to install windows on a friends PC with a duff 2 speed CD ROM (3 hours and counting!)

With your method the guys at Microsoft need to take a crap for the whole next decade or so
