I've written a project that uses a notify icon. The program

So far, it works great. However, when the reminder pops up, it takes
focus from whatever 3rd party application the user is running.
Does anyone know how to show up a form without having it take focus?
Instead of showing a form, you might try a "Toaster Popup" which is what
MSN Messenger shows when a person logs on. It pops up briefly above the
tray area and then fades.
