Hi Boki,

Could you add some features to the NxAlertWindow in the next release?

1) A sound parameter that calls a MessageBeep at popup (so a systemsound is played)
2) A Popup function version where you specify the CloseDelay for each popup (and including -1 for forever).

Hello Wim,

1) I think that this may be added. I will more like to we have some custom sound for this, but untill then MessageBeep may help (with property)

2) I think that I will add it.

Best regards

Hi Boki,

Just support the messagebeep parameter and you have access to all system sounds (-1 is the default beep).

Hi Boki,

Just add an integer/dword property for the sound to be played (there are only a couple of them)

and for enumerating them all:

CODE

The MessageBeep function plays a waveform sound. The waveform sound for each sound type is identified by an entry in the [sounds] section of the registry.

BOOL MessageBeep(

    UINT uType     // sound type  
   );    


Parameters

Hello Wim,

I think that I will add 2 properties (not definite names):

SoundKind (ICON_ASTERIX,....Custom)
SoundCode (value when SoundKind = Custom).

I think that this may be the best

Hello Wim,

I am confused now a little bit. As you may see from your links there are 2 sound functions in use

MessageBeep and PlaySound.

I have add new property PopupSound with next values:

CODE

  TMessageBeepSound = (mbNone, mbIconExclamation, mbIconHand, mbOk, mbIconQuestion, mbIconAsterisk);

For this kind of sounds all work fine, but how to organize sounds used in PlaySound API function? Maybe to add new value in PopuSound - mbSystem or something similar. Then we will have one more property for picking system sound.

Which one we m

Hello Wim,

I have add CloseDelay parameter for overloaded existing function Popup (with Text parameter). I will see now how to add infinite popup with -1 as value for CloseDelay.

Hi Boki,

Great! Does this mean that you now can have different closedelays for each popup?

Hello Wim,

Yes, setting CloseDelay param will automatically set CloseDelay property to new value.

Can you please tell me what do you think about PopupSound property which I have mentioned in previous post?

Best regards

[wvd_vegt]

Hi Boki,

Looks good, but please add the default sounds too (as mbDefault = -1 or as Dword(-1)). Than you have a complete access to the windows sounds that are present on all Pc's.

The other systemsounds cannot be easily integrated into a property as their names and numbers vary.

Can you please tell me what do you think about PopupSound property which I have mentioned in previous post?

Hello Wim,

Maybe it will be better that for other system sounds (PlaySound API function), that I create new event OnPopup and user may add them manually inside this event to avoid complications.

Hi Boki,

Event would be nice. But then add the OnPopDown (or OnClose) too if your busy fixing things.
