    FlashWindowEx

    Can anybody tell me the settings on this to make it flash until the window is maximized or selected? I am using this, but it just stays a solid orange.


    Code:
    Dim flash As New FLASHWINFO
            flash.cbSize = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.SizeOf(flash) '/// size of structure in bytes
            flash.hwnd = MyBase.MdiParent.Handle '/// Handle to the window to be flashed
            flash.dwFlags = FLASHW_ALL '/// to flash both the caption bar + the tray
            flash.uCount = 0 '/// the number of flashes
            flash.dwTimeout = 1000 '/// speed of flashes in MilliSeconds ( can be left out )
            '/// flash the window you have specified the handle for...
            FlashWindowEx(flash)
    If I set the count it will flash, but don't want it to flash a set amount of times. Thanks.

    That doesn't really answer my question. Thanks though.

    This seems to work...

    Code:
    flash.dwFlags = FLASHW_TIMERNOFG Or FLASHW_TRAY
