I don't want message boxes to beep
-
I could unplug my speaker or give information in another way, but it's so easy to say AfxMessageBox("foo"); Is there a setting on the computer or a programmatic way to stop the annoying beeping (without deplugging the computer speaker :))? Thanks!

why don't you just use the control pannel to turn off sounds for certian notification types? or all of em

As the others have said, this is an Operating System setting not programmatic. Don't think there is much you can do to stop this unless you only care about it on your development box.

I have always had the problem of error message boxes (the ones with the warnign icon) producing a system beep, not that it's really bothered me that much. Yet on my machine "critical stop" is set to None, as indeed is everything else. Any futher ideas?

On older mainboards, I cut the cables to the little speaker inside the PC case. but on newer mainboards, some have a mini-beeper right mounted on the board, so this doesn't work anymore. These mainboards seem to detect whether an external speaker is connected, so all you should need to do is fool this mechanism be replacing the external speaker with a resistor of the same ohm-value than the external speaker (8 ohms or so). -- See me: www.magerquark.de Want a job? www.zeta-software.de/jobs
