Hi John,

I believe the beep is in the PC speaker, correct?

Hi John,

Based on my local test, the beeps caused by the MessageBox is set through
the

"Default Beep" item of Sound SChema under the "Sounds" tab of the "Sounds
and Audio devices" setting under Windows Control Panel.

So we can open Control Panel ---> Sounds and Audio Devices ----> Sounds

Then, in the "Program events" list, select "Default Beep" item, (I'm using
XP pro system), the default setting is

"Windows XP Ding.wav" , we can change it to other wav file or "None"
(MessageBox won't cause beep sound).

Also, the above "Default Beep" item setting can also be set through the
following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_US ER\AppEvents\Sc hemes\Apps\.Def ault\.Default\. Current

You can change its (default) value to empty so as to make the same effect
as you set "None" to "Default Beep" in control panel.

Please have a test on your side to see whether it also works. Hope helps.
