Strangely enough, I tried googling for how to initiate the event via KDE and came up with nothing. I made some custom Information, Warning and Error dialogs that I thought having the "system's" sound for the beep would be cool. In the past I used SDL_mixer, but, for this app (an MTP media browser), it doesn't make sense to bring in SDL for that. I will take a look at sudoku and see what I can rip^H^H^Hborrow :). If I am able to abstract the audio code and make it reuseable, perhaps I will submit a libfltk_audio RFE. I'm thinking of something akin to libfltk_images. I can eve imagine seeing a --use-audio swithc in fltk-config. Perhaps I'm just getting ahead of myself here :) Thanks for the pointer. -- Alvin _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
