MessageBeep info  Overview  Group

The MessageBeep function plays a waveform sound. The waveform sound for each sound type is identified by an entry in the [sounds] section of the registry.

BOOL MessageBeep(

    UINT uType 

// sound type

   );

Parameters

uType
Specifies the sound type, as identified by an entry in the [sounds] section of the registry. This parameter can be one of the following values:

Value

Sound

0xFFFFFFFF

Standard beep using the computer speaker

MB_ICONASTERISK

SystemAsterisk

MB_ICONEXCLAMATION

SystemExclamation

MB_ICONHAND

SystemHand

MB_ICONQUESTION

SystemQuestion

MB_OK

SystemDefault

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

After queuing the sound, the MessageBeep function returns control to the calling function and plays the sound asynchronously.

If it cannot play the specified alert sound, MessageBeep attempts to play the system default sound. If it cannot play the system default sound, the function produces a standard beep sound through the computer speaker.

The user can disable the warning beep by using the Control Panel Sound application.
