msn/nod32/antivirus popup

[Blixa]

Hello,

I am looking for a way to create a popup that will be shown like a 'somebody has come online' on msn , nod32 has 'scan results'.
Howver I am unable to figure this out with 'tutorials' that dont work or projects that are out of date / canceled.

Many somebody can push me into the right directions.

I am looking for something thats being shown above all other apps that are open but without losing control over those apps. The fading etc is not that important I will figure this out when I get there.

Thanks in advance

Ye I have seen this. No clue how to use it and I want to try making one on my own (with a bit of help ofc).

@Zeljko , I know of those , not what I am looking for.

What I am looking for is a way to show a new form above all other programs active without it catching focus/interrupt the other program(s) (lose focus to the popup).
And creating a new form without having the focus on the prog it self.

About focus part I really don't know how can you solve that (at least easy way). Maybe will someone with little more windows programming experience jump to this post to help about 'non focus on new window' part :/

As for on top of all other windows part - every form had property

Me.TopMost = True/False
