Flashing button in taskbar

#1 January 23rd, 2006, 12:55 PM

How can I make the Access-button in the taskbar start flashing from my
VBA-code?

I would like to have the user's attention if needed when they have the
application mnimized.

Thanks,

Jeroen

There's an API call for it. The call is:
Private Declare Function FlashWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long,
ByVal bInvert As Long) As Long

Example implementation:
Private Sub Form_Timer()
Dim a As Long
a=FlashWindow(Me.hwnd, 1)
End Sub
