 Posted: Tue Feb 25, 2003 4:45 am Post subject: Annoying click sound when using WINDOW SEND command |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm currently building a little app that has to send alt(M) to an external APP.
Strangely, in Windows 95 (Macs & Garrett favorite OS), 98 and Windows ME I keep earing a click in the speaker of the PC everytime my VDS app send the key to the external app.
Any ideas why?
Here's my bit of code I use to send a key combination:
| Code: | PARSE "%T;%L;%W;%H",@winpos(%%externalapp,TLWH)
window send,@winatpoint(%T,%L),@ALT(M) |
Thanks... 
I was teasing you Mac and Garrett...  |

Turning the sound of???
Just kidding. You should look into the registry for the key which contains all windows sounds, and remove the one which makes the 'click' sound. I think this must be the right key:
| Code: | | HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default |
Just search with REGEDIT for the right key, rename it, then test your program again, and listen if it is disabled... |

Not really... I don't have that problem in Win95. 
A real keypress or mouseclick will make a tick sound in some
cases - such as trying to click a parent window when a modal
window (that must be closed first) is open...
Some thoughts...
- Have ya tried WINDOW ACTIVATE @winatpoint(%T,%L) first?
- Have ya tried a WAIT (or WAIT ".5") before WINDOW SEND?
- Does the code actually send ALT+M to the program?
- Does it click when ya manually press ALT+M keys in this program?
- Do other programs make this sound with WINDOW SEND?
Ya might also check for strange keyboard settings (speed, etc.)
and default event "sounds" (control panel)...
Cheers, Mac
[EDIT] OOPS - Skit's faster than I am....

- WINDOW ACTIVATE @winatpoint(%T,%L): I did try only WINDOW ACTIVATE, %%appname and it didnt work (it wouldnt activate the window)and will try your option
- No WAIT... will try that too
- Yes the ALT M is sent
- No click when I do it manually
- Not all programs.
Thanks Mac and Skit |
