Maybe I misremembered the control. It was months ago that I read about it, heh. And it'd be stupid to have the same bug on both controls imo. But yeah, problem solved!

Same bug, different control (listview instead of treelist), same sounds!

In other words, it is exactly the same bug I referred to in my first post in this topic. ^^; I just lacked a link to the KB article. Gotta love psychic debugging.

The Microsoft KB fix worked for me, too. I am really glad that annoying chime is finally gone. Thanks Twisol for finding that.

What you need to do Twisol is record yourself saying nothing, and attach that sound to the "select" event. <grin>

Exactly, but it didn't have any sound attached (no speaker icon on the left). Clearing the registry key that the article points to solved it, and I do recall having changed one or two options in Sound recently, so that's probably when it happened.

So, not a MUSHclient bug then? Another Windows feature? I'll move the thread to General.

I found an article on this [1] in the Microsoft KnowledgeBase, it seems like this might be exactly the issue. I'll try Method 2 shortly.

EDIT: It worked, the sound no longer occurs!

I can't find any "changed selection" sound in my Sounds controls, either. Hokken is right, also: I get the chiming sounds in the triggers/aliases/etc lists as well.

Upgrade is not the word. ;)


As for Vista, it didn't chime for me until I added that sound in the control panel.

I tried playing around with the system sounds in the control panel. I don't actually have an entry for "changed selection", but it turns out that it is using the sound assigned to "Default Beep" in the Windows group. And it's not just the plugin list, it seems to be all of the list controls: triggers, aliases, variables, etc.

Then I tried a different program that uses a pre-Vista list control, and sure enough it's doing the same thing. This must be something specific to Vista, as I know my list controls didn't ding in XP. Why, why did I ever upgrade???

If you do a git diff you see there were absolutely no changes to that dialog box handler between v4.46 and v4.48:


git diff v4.46 v4.48 -- FunctionListDlg.*
(no output)



You didn't point out to me that this isn't the dialog I am looking for. ;) The relevant dialog is PluginsDlg. not FunctionListDlg.*

But no matter, that hasn't changed either.

I tried it on my daughter's Windows Vista PC (using MUSHclient 4.43) and there was no chime or any sound as I selected different plugins ... until:

If you go into Control Panel -> Sounds, and configure the sounds for various actions, if you set a sound for "changed selection" *then* you get a sound in the plugins dialog box because you are, well, changing the selection.

I'm back on my desktop (via a wall-mounted TV monitor...), and I continue to get the chime sound. My desktop is currently using v4.48 on Vista Home Premium.
