how to make an application/form blinking at the taskbar with FormWindowState .Minimized form state

Hi, can someone tell me how to make an application/form blanking at the
taskbar with FormWindowState .Minimized form state?

I see MSN or Yahoo chat work this way. When a new message arrive, the
existing window does not pop up, it stays at the bottom taskbar and
blanking.

Thanks a lot!
Ryan

Hello, I'm wondering what would be the best way to remove the main form from a project, or at least hide it. My program is going to use a NotifyIcon control to be in the system tray. I'd like to be able to open other forms but don't need a main one. Is the only thing to set the opacity to 0%? thanks

Windows refuses to close down if my applications main form is hidden and there's a notify icon in the system tray. If I restore the form, then shutting down Windows succeeds. If I comment out the code in "frmOptions_Closing" then run and hide the application, Windows shuts down normally. I think there was a way to find out what was causing...
