I don't think any of these applications use HTML. But I also have Auto
Forms mode turned off by default.
The sound I am hearing is the unimaginative default system error sound. It
is the same sound created by the JAWS Beep function. I asked John Carson at
FS if it may have been a debug line of code inadvertently left into the
code.
I have a feeling that it has something to do with JAWS trying to use MSAA to
get information about the list even though the application was not actually
developed to use MSAA.
Has anyone else heard these beeps in FSDN or any other application. At
least I have found an example that you guys and FS should be able to
reproduce.
