VB6 task bar manipulation 1

[GhostWolf]

Can someone guide me toward a tutorial, or something, that would teach me how to manipulate a program's task bar icon?

What I have is a program which "flashes" a "light" in its window when a new message arrives, (via Winsock). This works well, as long as the user has the window open.

What I'd like to do is to "flash" the program's task bar icon when the user has the window minimized and a new message arrives.

API FlashWindow or FlashWindowEx should solve your problem.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.

Works like a charm.

Thanks, again.
