how do i play beep sound from PowerBuilder app?

I need my PowerBuilder application to play beep sound for at least two seconds. Can this be done with Win API?

Solution

  • From the PowerBuilder Help:

    Beep PowerScript function

    Causes the computer to beep up to 10 times.

    Syntax

    Beep ( n )

    n The number of times you want the computer to beep. If n is greater than 10, the computer beeps 10 times.

    Return Values

    Integer. Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if it fails. If n is null, Beep returns null. The return value usually is not used.

    Examples

    This statement causes the computer to beep five times:

    Beep(5)
