That annoying "BEEP" made by edit boxes

[Skeets]

is there any way to shut off the beep that the edit box makes when it is read-only or reached max charectors?

[Dynamite]

I've never heard this "beep" sound..?

[Skeets]

hold down a key while in a edit box... its really annoying

[Dynamite]

I still can't hear anything.

[Skeets]

odd... it doesn't make a beep when you exceed the number of charectors? Are you sure your sound isn't muted?

[Dynamite]

My sound is in full blast.
Edit: I didn't hear the beep but now I know what beep you're talking about. I installed a new windows theme and the sound doesn't play anymore.

This is a real pain and I know exactly what you are talking about. I'm not 100% of a workaround, I've done a bit of experimentation. There is an extension that can set the caret position in edit boxes, you can use that to always set it to 1 character behind the end and then put a dummy character (such as a space) at the end.

Is your edit object going to be visible onscreen?

[Skeets]

yes, it is, athough I had some rich edit boxes out of the playarea, and they automatically set the focus on and keys typed whould go in the rich edit boxes. I tried setting it to read-only, but that only got me a beep on every button pushed.

Hey Skeets - that was exactly the problem I had yesterday - I thought it was the radio buttons beeping at first, until I deleted the Rich text box actions - it's exceptionally annoying!!

I wonder if there is a way to disable "system beep" in mmf2, that might fix this.
