Letting a minimized application flicker in the Windows 95/NT taskbar

I am building a monitoring application that has to notify the user when
something happens. For this reason I want to let the minimized application
start flickering in the Windows 95/NT taskbar whenever necessary.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this in Delphi 3? I guess it will involve
some Win32 API calls.

Thanks,

Rob Bex

Rob,

Look for the FlashWindow function in the Win32 helpfiles. This will
accomplish what you want to do.

Try FlashWindow.
