- Hi Thomas!
-
- You must be referring to WHOOPS. Its an interesting concept, but given that
- the PC speaker driver suspends all other activities while it puts out the
- sound, I would find it tiresome to tag every event this way. Actually doing
- the trick is probably a matter of putting in a message filter hook function.
- Look at SetWindowsHook. The SDK used to warn that this degraded the
- efficiency of the system to intercept all messages. It might be different
- now.
-
- On the subject of newsgroups, comp.ms.windows.programmer has fallen into
- disuse since the comp.os. groups came on line. The comp.os.ms-windows group
- had to be subdivided because high volumes of "Is Not! Is Too!" messages were
- detracting from the usefulnesss of the group. The protagonists were arguing
- about whether MSW is an operating system or a shell. They have been
- banished to a .advocacy subgroup.
