- The Beep function generates simple tones on the speaker. The function is synchronous; it does not return control to its caller until the sound finishes.
- BOOL Beep(
- DWORD dwFreq, // sound frequency
- DWORD dwDuration // sound duration
- );
- Parameters
- dwFreq
- [in] Frequency of the sound, in hertz. This parameter must be in the range 37 through 32,767 (0x25 through 0x7FFF).
- Windows 95/98/Me: The Beep function ignores this parameter.
