Visual Studio221
Greetings,



I want to check if current application is the active window, if not, then I

want the window blink. Just like MSN receives a new message when it is not

active. How to implement that? My target platform is Win2K.

GetForegroundWindow

FlashWindow



Not sure about the compatability for the latter.

If you want to get the attention of your user, but your program is not on

top or is iconized you can use flashwindow on a timer to "blink" the

taskbar. However, I think this happens automatically in Windows XP if the

program pops up a window.
