Taskbar flashing

[Killswitch]

On a lot of the programs that I use on my computer they have a neat little way of attracting your attention to the fact that they require some input or interaction - the button in the task bar flashes.

Is there anyway to achieve this effect using PB or API commands?

Code: Select all

#WindowWidth  = 640
#WindowHeight = 480
#WindowFlags  = #PB_Window_SizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_TitleBar | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu

hWnd = OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, #WindowWidth, #WindowHeight, #WindowFlags, "")

ShowWindow_(hWnd, #SW_MINIMIZE)

StartTime = ElapsedMilliseconds()
s = 1
While m < 5
  CurrentTime = ElapsedMilliseconds()
  If CurrentTime-StartTime > 1000
    FlashWindow_(hWnd, s) ;Look in the W32 Helpfile or in the API Guide
    If s = 0 : s = 1 : Else : s = 0 : EndIf
    m + 1
    StartTime = CurrentTime
  EndIf
  Event = WindowEvent()
Wend

Repeat
  Event = WindowEvent()
  Delay(10)
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
End
