libwinsound.tex is missing a description of the MessageBeep() function. |

Logged In: YES user_id=31435 Assigned to Guido because, IIRC, he added this function. Guido, why did you add it? It seems like a redundant way of calling winsound.PlaySound() with the SND_ALIAS argument. |

Logged In: YES user_id=6380 I added it because I discovered that on my Win98 machine certain calls to MessageBeep() make a funny sound (a very brief distorted click) rather than what they are supposed to do. I haven't found docs showing the resource names used by MessageBeep() that I could pass to SND_ALIAS. |

I don't think you meant what you wrote -- that you added
MessageBeep() because MessageBeep() doesn't do what
it's supposed to do. If PlaySound() gave a distorted click,
and you're using it right, then you probably have a
corrupt .wav file associated with the sound you tried to
play; you can check that more directly via the Sounds
applet in Control Panel (which lists the .wav file associated
with sound names, and has a preview button to play them
directly).
About docs, did you read the Python docs for PlaySound
()? For example,
MessageBeep(MB_ICONASTERISK)
should do the same as
PlaySound('SystemAsterisk', SND_ALIAS)
The docs don't directly list MB_XYZ equivalents, but
they're easy to guess from the Python docs.

Logged In: YES user_id=6380 I really did mean what I wrote -- I wanted to experiment with different calls to MessageBeep() to see how far the damage extends. I tried the control panel and none of the sounds there are broken -- yet MessageBeep() is broken. We can look at this tomorrow in the office (my laptop is turned off right now and I have no time for experiments). |

Logged In: YES user_id=31435 Hmm. OK. There's a disconnect here somewhere. Like why would you add a function to Python when you don't think it works correctly? I understand wanting to experiment on your own box. If it doesn't work, though, why add it to the distribution? FWIW, the 5 MB_xyz thingies work OK with MessageBeep () on my Win98SE laptop. |

Logged In: YES user_id=31435 FYI, the MB_xyz thingies work OK with MessageBeep () on my Win98SE desktop too. |
