Flash icon in TaskBar when something happens and browser is minimised


I display some alerts dynamically in a div. This is great when the
browser is maximised but I need some way of alerting the user if the
browser is minimised to the taskbar. Is there some effective way of
doing this?

I'm not sure but maybe you could give window.focus() a try?

Is it possible to set the icon and title for a group of buttons on the taskbar? The group appears when several applicationwindows are opened, and when "Group similar taskbar buttons" are checked at the taskbar properties page. Some default windows icon are used, unles I set the application icon in my vs project file. But I would like to set the icon at runtime.

Hi, I have a C# program that changes the notifyIcon during the program. What I have noticed is that sometimes when the program is over the old icon will still be in the system tray. But when i move over the icons in the taskbar the taskbar will immediately update itself and clear the old icon away. I was just wondering if this is normal or if I am supposed to "force" an update of the taskbar system tray icons somehow?

How can I let the browser icon/button blink in the taskbar to alert a user that (f.e.) he has an new message when his browser-window is not focused or minimized?? Working with a flash-movie with a sound is not an option, neither is a alert() or confirm() ... Thanks!!

I am using VS2005 (vb) and I have a program that starts when Windows boots up. Occasionally the icon that should appear in the system tray does not show up. The program is still running in memory but the tray icon is not there. If I start the program after Windows has booted up the icon shows every time. I am assuming that the reason is due to the icon being created before the system tray is loaded/running. I have used a timer with...

Hi, This is really just a theoretical question for my own interest, and not for any nefarious purpose... :-) Say we have three applications running - Notepad, Wordpad and Excel - and each window is in its "normal" state i.e. not maximised, and not minimised to the taskbar. We click each of the three taskbar buttons in turn and, of course, the three

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
