Make the internet window (java popup) active/inactive all time?

[Sozu]

Hello folks.
I've been using VB6 and VB.net (2008) for about 2 years ago.
Wasn't really that much i learned but however i made a software which i'm still using today (a software where i can type in the time i want my PC to shut down or other stuffs, i called this software for "timer", could do alot with it, i use it for a reminder too).

However, now to the topic:

I want to be able to make an internet window (its a java game in a popup) that are "active" or even "inactive" all time.

In example: I'm opening a MSN chat window, in the game a symbole next to my name changes to "ZZ", what i want to do is to make this "ZZ" won't appear!
When i come back to the game, also make the window active, the "ZZ" dissapear.

What i want is to be able a drop-down-menu or something where i can change this to example:
- Active only
- Inactive only
- Normal

Where active only are going to make this window active whatever else i do.
And where Inactive only are going to show this window as inactive all time, which will give me "ZZ" icon.
And normal that how it is right now.

I know the function "top most" or something like that in VB, i do have that little function on my own software i did.
This function makes the software go on top of all other programs.
I've wonder if there's something i can do in VB that are doing this, but to the active of the window?
Because to me it sounds its almost the same, just that it goes on top and not active.


At the moment i haven't been using Visual Basic in 2 years, most of my experiences are problary lost.
If someone would like to recommand me a existing software that may be able to do this i'm looking for i would be happy.
But also if someone knows the solution.
I will also then get Visual Basic only for making this than..
So then tell what version i should get if there's any big differents.

No one who knows? no one who not get how i mean?
If so tell me and i try explain with pictures.

Also is this possible to do!?

I dont really understand what you mean I'm afraid. Perhaps some pictures / screenshots would help yes

Ok so i'm inside a game site.
It's a sort of option that shows if i'm active/there in the game.
If i am i got just a crown, but if not its a "ZZ" icon.

I want to be able to change this on my own. SO even if i'm not active/there in the game, i will still have the crown showing when i normally would get a "ZZ" icon.
Also would be cool to make the other way, so when i'm active/there, it will be a "ZZ" icon when its normally would be a crown icon.


Here's a picture when i'm NOT active in this game, i also having MSN over the FireFox window

See the red square, it's a "ZZ" icon.

Now when i click in this window, and make the FireFox window ACTIVE, it will be a crown like this

So what i would want to do is to make these options, so it will thinks i'm active or inactive of this FireFox window.


My idea in head is if making a webbrowser in Visual Basic, which i've found not too hard before when i was doing Visual Basic. And then if there's an option or code where i can make the browser say that the window is active or inactive.
And also control this "ZZ" and crown icon how i want it.

Hmm well I'm afraid you will not be able to control what icon other people see as that is on the web site itself not on your computer. You might be able to change it so that you see a different icon but I'm guessing that is no use.
Also I dont think you will be able to make the window inactive if you still want to actually give input to that window. Perhaps someone else can think of a way you can do it but I certainly cant.

Controlling another site?
I don't think so and i don't think that it's also allowed legally.
