AppEvent Scheme

[Guthro]

How do I add a sound to a third party program using Windows AppEvent sounds ?
I understand where in the registry the actual sound would be placed but how does windows see the event ?

I use a remote hosted forum and was looking to assign a "you've got mail" type .wav file when the inbox is greater than zero.
If the forum is purely browser based with no installation on the pc, am I right in assuming that Windows won't be able to see any event ?
If anyone remembers the WinCim Compuserve client, you'll know the type of effect I'm looking for.

Cheers

Is there anything here that might be helpful?


Q How can I add any sound (not only with the MessageBeep function) to an MFC-based app?
