Hi,

Thanks go to Brendan and Kevin for help in my last question! Cheers guys. Now on to my next little niggle!

I have created an external function to FlashWindow in user32.dll. When I create the for, this method is called and so the icon in the taskbar for that window flashes - as per many other Windows applications.

Now the problem is, that if the taskbar icon is flashing (I only set it to flash for say 10 seconds), and this window is minimised, the user may well click on the taskbar icon to maximise the window to get acces to the program.

However, it seems I can't do this! I have to wait until the flashing(!) period is complete before I can regain control of the Jade program.

I have hunted around with little success. Might any of you Jade gurus our there be able to shed any light?!

Thanks
Dave
