in thread Prototype problem for XS module

Thanks a lot. I used to be an ActiveState customer. Recently I switched to Strawberry

Well, Win32 is a CPAN module too.

(For example in the Win32::GUI module when I speak to the System Tray a bubble pops up which makes a noise - I don't want this noise).

The audible alert is a OS user interface feature, not an application feature. That is, a windows user can elect to turn off audible alerts -- it's about the first thing I do when I do a new install -- or not. But it is, and should be, the application users choice to have audible alerts, not the application writers.

Ceterum censeo there is a need to do it myself and make API calls directly through XS code.

Learning XS is not a bad thing to do. Though you may well find it a frustrating exercise.

    There is an open source application called notifu which is a command line tool for creating notifications in the system tray. This application has a '/q' option which disables the sound when the balloon pops up (I tested this). So it must be possible somehow (for exactly how I should try to understand the source code) to disable sound on a per message basis.

      It uses the IUserNotification2 Shell Interface.

      Start here to see what's involved. Good luck.
