Hi,

I downloaded and tried your test.prg.  At first I could not get it to 
compile as I did not have the APIGDI.ch file.  Not sure what it 
contained so commented it out to see if I got a compiler error.  No 
Error so ran it and got sounds for all except MB_ICONQUESTION. 
Wondering why I got MB_ICONERROR when you didn't I went into Control 
Panel->Sounds and on the sounds tab looked at the list of defined 
sounds.  The "Question" entry did not have a defined sound so I picked 
one at random from the sounds dropdown, hit the test button and then apply.

Reran your test and MB_ICONQUESTION now has a sound.  However I went 
through all the event options for sound and could not find one that is 
set to play the same sound as the MB_ICONERROR sound I get with your 
test.prg.

Hello Jonathan.
Good day.
Many thanks.
Excuse the absence of the ApiGdi.ch: it is not relevant for this test.
I was doing to use the MessageBeep() API for alerts to the operator with 
the windows' sounds.
Now it seems to me that it is not a good idea because it needs 
configuration of the Windows and the user may not did or do not know how 
to do it.
