WaitWindow Sound

Bill Cunnien — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:53:59 GMT

Good morning,

I have WaitWindows employed in several places within my application. Each time the WaitWinow is hidden, I get a "bonk" sound. In some cases, it is nice to know that the wait is over. Is there a way to turn the "bonk" sound on/off or select a different sound?

Thanks,
Bill

Gotcha. No problem with me. As I roll this application out, I am going to bet that the users are going to ask me about this. :D Thanks, Trent...good answer to pass along. :w00t:

This is OS related and nothing that we are doing. The problem is that the OS is treating the Wait Window as a modal dialog (which it is on another thread as a Modal dialog) and depending upon how, where, and when it is beling closed, you may get the "bonk." Sorry :ermm:, but this is something that we run into as well and it has never been an issue or worth trying to change. Maybe someday, but this is related to the Windows OS and the treatment of closing modal dialogs (and possibly a click happening during the process...even an emulated click) versus the WaitWindow itself.
