Clicking sound

[sasha]

Hello!

I wonder if a solution could be proposed to the following problem.

You know how IE may generate audible clicks when links are clicked on. I
guess this is configurable in the Internet options somewhere.

Is there any way to disable this programmatically? I don't want my
embedded control to click audibly.

Thanks in advance,

You can do it system-wide, by removing the registry entry under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\Navigating\.Current

I don't know of any way to do it only for a specific control, or a
specific process.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925

You cannot do this unless you are creating a code to disable the sound on
their computer on browser open and even that is going to be tricky because
of the different amount of browsers out there and the fact that in doing so
might be considered unethical as a programmer. You cant cause an undesired
reaction on a persons computer and think that it wouldn't be considered some
kind of hack. Even still there isn't a code out there now that will do so
unless you are uploading a program to their computer that is built into the
opening of your web page which wouldnt work unless they agreed to it. It
just doesnt make since to go through all of that for a simple clicking
sound. Now you may be able to adjust the sound that when you click, it
plays a sound wav of silence. That might work but even then it will take
some savy code on your end to get that accomplished. And remember that is
if your navigation is within your web page. It has nothing to do with IE
making its sounds on it own. However, you can delete the sound file on your
own local machine but the only one that would benefit is you. Sorry I
couldn't be more with this.
