Beeping in the background

[award982]

Hey all!

I wanted to ask a weird question, i dont even know if its possible, sorry for my noobisheness

I wanted to ask is there a way to do a continuous beeping sound ( Beep(1000,100)
in the background, for example
cin >> number;

and while the user is writing the number it beeps in the background

so is it possible? and if so, how to do it?

Try this:

do {
    std::cout << "\a";
} while (cin >> number)

Nope, doesnt work, just beeps one time :(

You could use threads.

[chrisname]

Threads would work.

[Duthomhas]

It is easily possible without threads, but it is a little involved and OS-specific.
Do you absolutely have to do this?
Or can you live with something simpler -- such as a beeping sound until the user starts to enter an answer?

I really need to learn how to do this
