      That is a user defined sound set from the Control Panel. The sound will depend on the type of messagebox you create.

          I'd recommend you do not mess with user's system preferences!

              There are other series of icons for the messagebox. The default series shows when you use the MB_ type constants:

              ["MB_OK", "MB_OKCANCEL", "MB_ABORTRETRYIGNORE", "MB_YESNOCANCEL", "MB_YESNO", "MB_RETRYCANCEL", "MB_MULTILINE"]

              But if add some constant value to these (excluding MB_MULTILINE), you can get a series of messageboxes using different icons. Here are the constants and the icon series you get:

                Jim, that looks good. Not in the API?

                  It's there.
                  http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/ui.html#messagebox

                  But the return value constant isn't. See the comments at the bottom of the page.

                    The API doesn't mention anything about being able to use a certain icon series by adding a values to the MB constants.

                    I wonder if the return values are still the same in this case?

                    Hi

                      Ah, yea I see now what you mean. Yea - these should be mapped. I had been wishing for such control - similar to what I had in VB and C#.

                        What would probably make it easier to map out was to print out the binary value so we can see which bits are turned on.

                            How do I "add some constant value" to the following?
                            UI:messagebox "my text "+variable, MB_OK

                              Use the bitwise And operator to combine flags:
                              Messagebox with Yes/No button and question mark icon:
                              UI.messagebox('Hello World', MB_YESNO | 32)

                                      I went thru this a fee months ago or so:

                                      It's a Win only thing so far as I know, but I'd like to see what happens on the Mac.

                                      Here's a text report of all the integers and the resultant button styles you get. (I believe some of the icons are deprected, specifically the question icon.)

                                      UI_messagebox.txt

                                      I'm not here much anymore.

                                        That's actually the Or operator... but you knew that πŸ˜‰

                                        Sorry... pedantic mode, off! πŸ˜„

                                        @Dan: I've also always wondered what all the obviously-Win32-API-based things did on the Mac version... I always assumed they just translated stuff to the appropriate Mac system-calls/constants, but it would be nice to know for sure.

                                        You might have noticed... I'm a bit of a ferpectionist.
