When using an standard icon with MessageBox.Show on the Windows XP platform there is no sound (dings). That's great and its an improvement over the MsgBox() command which always made sounds whether you wanted them or not. But now I find that MessageBox.show does make sound when ran in Vista! That's a dissapointment. Is there a way (other than using my own custom message box) to use the .Net system MessageBox.show command with the built in icon but NOT have the sounds on any platform?

How do I kill the sound in MessageBox.Show()
- Thread starter Jrhaynes
- Start date
MsgBox() and MessageBox.Show() (with no icon defined, so default) both play a sound (the system's "Default Beep") when activated on all of the XP systems at my work.
I believe the only way to do this is to either 1) make your own messasge box, or 2) temporarily reassign the "Default Beep" sound in the registry.
