Since you asked this in the WinHelp group I assume you mean you want a 
simple sound from your HLP file.
Easiest is to use one of the "standard" WAV files (e.g. DING.WAV or 
TADA.WAV), which get installed on everyone's machine.  All of the help 
author tools (I think) will assist you in adding such a sound.  I know 
HELLLP! will (http://www.guysoftware.com/helllp.html).
If you want a non-standard WAV file, you can do that too, but then you 
have to ship it with your application.

Have you checked out the DirectBeep family of functions from DirectX 6?
It's great!  Why would someone need a "int beep(int freq, int time)"
function when you can instantiate a whole bucketload of com objects to
do the same thing?  Amaze your friends!  Scare them away from a
programming job!  Make lots of money!

Viva Microsoft!

Hey, how do you instanceiate the DirectBeepPattern object? I've tried
to do

lpDB->CreatePattern(NULL, &lpDBP, DBCP_BEEPALLTHETIME |
  DBCP_BEEPCONSTANT | DBCP_USETHEMOSTANNOYINGSOUNDPOSSIBLE |
  DBCP_BEEPALLCOMPUTERSINTHENETWORK | BCP_BEEPEVENIFREBOOTED);

But it will only return DBERR_WHYTHEFUCKDOYOUWANTTODOTHAT.

I don't know what to do! Help me please!
