I just discovered how to give audio cues to your app with the MessageBeep API, so give some of these a try:

Code: Select all

MessageBeep_(#MB_ICONINFORMATION) ; Plays a "done" sound.
MessageBeep_(#MB_ICONEXCLAMATION) ; Plays an "error" sound.
MessageBeep_(#MB_ICONHAND)        ; Plays a "pop" sound.
MessageBeep_(#MB_ICONMASK)        ; Plays a "ding" sound.
MessageBeep_(#MB_ICONQUESTION)    ; Plays a "prompt" sound.

Another similar API is worth mentioning:

Beep_(Frequency from 0 to 5000, lenght in miliseconds)

True, but the frequency and length parameters aren't supported on Win 9x,
which could be a problem if you need those parameters for your app's use.
