Hello everyone!



Do any of you know how to make the taskbar icon/window blink when it is 

minimized and when an event occurs?

You do? Great!

Please post an answer for me.

Thank you.

try this:



Declare Function FlashWindow Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal

bInvert As Long) As Long





' Flash Form1 five times to get the user's attention

Dim c As Integer, retval As Long  ' counter variable & return value



For c = 1 To 10  ' flash on five times, off five times

  retval = FlashWindow(Form1.hWnd, 1)  ' toggle the look of the window

  Sleep 500  ' halt execution for 500 milliseconds (1/2 second)

Next c

retval = FlashWindow(Form1.hWnd, 0)  ' make sure the window looks normal
