Anyone know if it's possible to detect the 'system beep' signal from a program in Windows?

(i'm working on a gui, and need to somehow see if I can detect the 'beep' that one process does when it finishes..)

thanks,

Well, I know it must be possible, since Microsoft is doing it. Take a look at SoundSentry in Control Panel > Accessibility Options > Sound. Maybe googling "SoundSentry" would find something.

Its an ASCII character 7, althought I don't know how you read standard in on Windows.
