MsgBox in VB6

[bubulindo]

Hello,

I would like to know if it's possible to take off the alert sound that a msgbox makes in VB???



Best regards, Carlos Cardoso

Not without various hacks, as far as I know - it's a user setting. Using your own (custom) dialog box is the cleanest way around it.

If you want you could use this code below do it, however the message box will be a Question message box. The Question message box will not make the alert sound.

Heres the code:

prompt$ = "Put Message here"
reply = MsgBox(prompt$, vbQuestion, "Put title here")

The alert sound is not a vb option, is a windows option that is on the control panel and sounds and multimedia, could be the question sound "chord.wav" that logically is on the registry

There's a key on the registry where you can find out about the sounds

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Schemes\Apps\.Default

And in there most likely is the following the one that controls that sound:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemQuestion\.Current

you can modify it on and off every time that you use your application. Well, is just and idea.
