Feeling Dingy...

[PsaltyDS]

How do I turn off the 'Ding' when a button is clicked in a message box?

Dim $Msg[3]
$Msg[0] = "Pulled your hair out yet?"
$Msg[1] = "No?"
$Msg[2] = "Let's try again..."
While(1)
    For $n = 0 to 2
        MsgBox(0, "Ding!", $Msg[$n])
    Next
WEnd

My sanity depends on YOUR answer!

actually that's a windows setting. if you go to control panel, sounds and volume (i think), the second tab should have sounds for system events, you can unassign any sound you like.

I understood that, and I guess unplugging the speakers would work too. But more specificaly, what kind of event is an AutoIT message button click that calls for a bell? The bell doesn't sound when the message pops up, but when the OK is clicked. Other Windows programs that pop up message boxes don't sound a bell when I click OK, just AutoIT script message boxes.

It makes sound when the window pops up, not on the ok, put a sleep after the msgbox to better illistrate this.

for no sound, just make your own message box created using the gui functions.

:"> Oops. You were right. The next box popped up so fast I thought I was getting a bell on clicking OK. Somebody else also helpfully pointed out that you don't get a bell if you construct your own GUI.

Thanks.

no worries man, it happens to everyone.

I remember seeing this somewhere, but I think you can set the volume via a registry setting. with saying that, you could make a registry change right before the message, and after the window pops up, you could then do a winwaitactive, and turn the volume back on. That would fix it.
