If you are using win32lib you can do this...

   atom xMessageBeep, junk
   xMessageBeep = registerw32Function(user32, "MessageBeep", {C_UINT},
C_UINT)

then when you need to make a sound ...
   junk = w32Func(xMessageBeep, {whichsound})

where 'whichsound' can be one of ...

    -1     = Standard Beep
    MB_ICONASTERISK = WAV file assigned to 'Asterisk'
    MB_ICONEXCLAMATION = WAV file assigned to 'Exclamation'
    MB_ICONHAND = WAV file assigned to 'Hand'
    MB_ICONQUESTION = WAV file assigned to 'Question'
    MB_OK = WAV file assigned to 'Default'

You can use the Windows Control Panel to assign WAV files to specific types
of sound events.


If you are not using win32lib try this...

   include msgbox.e

   atom lUser32, xMessageBeep, junk
   lUser32 = open_dll("user32")
   xMessageBeep = define_c_func(lUser32, "MessageBeep", {C_UINT}, C_UINT)

then when you need to make a sound ...
   junk = c_func(xMessageBeep, {whichsound})
