D SOUND SUPPORT (MS-Windows)

You can have sound effects being played when a predefined event in CrossView Pro occurs. You can configure the sound in the Sound settings of the Control Panel of MS-Windows. Similar to assigning a sound to a system event, you can assign a sound to a CrossView Pro event.

Currently the following events are supported:

Breakpoint hit
File has been downloaded
CrossView Pro has started execution
CrossView Pro is exiting
Run command/button
Step command/button
StepOver command/button
Halt command/button
Symbols Loaded
Fatal (system) error occurred
Non-fatal error

How to add sound support

1. Firstly all events must be specified to MS-Windows. You can do this by adding the following lines to the Registry under:
My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\EventLabels\

Use regedit to start the registry editor.

2. You must also add the same list of keys (without values) to
My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\

3. Now go and start the Sound settings in your Control Panel. Here you can assign a sound to each event. You can also assign None to an event, which prevents CrossView Pro from playing a sound if that specific event occurs.

4. For the sound effects to become operational, you also have to edit the xvw.ini file. You can do this using any editor, e.g. the Windows notepad command. Add the following line at an arbitrary line to your xvw.ini file:

It is also possible to disable the sound effects by changing this line into:

Now all sound effects are disabled.
