Hello,
I was trying to use the MessageBeep fuction to play different system sounds,
but using the syntax in the docs, all I can get is the default sound.. While
I finally got my sounds to play using PlaySound, I am curious as to what I
was doing wrong with MessageBeep. (Win2000 & XP)
>From the docs
MessageBeep( [type=MB_OK])
...The type argument specifies which sound to play; possible values are -1,
MB_ICONASTERISK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, MB_ICONHAND, MB_ICONQUESTION, and
MB_OK, all described below
Python 2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005, 12:41:11) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import winsound
>>> winsound.MessageBeep(-1)
(This works)
>>> winsound.MessageBeep(MB_OK)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'MB_OK' is not defined
(OK I'm kind of new to this so maybe it needs quotes:-)
>>> winsound.MessageBeep('MB_OK')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: an integer is required
So what do I need to do to play the other sounds listed in the docs (using
MessageBeep). Thanks.
Louis
