tab(-10, AG_MESSAGEBEEP); soundcode; chr(127); Tab(-10,x) Syntax Notes
AG_MESSAGEBEEP (3) sends a request to Windows to play the sound (wave form file) corresponding to the specified soundcode. If soundcode is not specified, the default sound—a simple beep—is generated. Note that you can change the wave forms associated with the various sounds in the Control Panel.
If specified, soundcode must be a single ASCII byte whose value is 32 + plus the value of one of the symbols in the table below, which are also used for specifying the icons in the standard Windows message box; see AG_MESSAGEBOXSTD and MSGBOX. If soundcode is not specified, the default simple beep sound will be requested.
