Animatewindow without stealing focus

Hi,

I need to something like a YM notification window that tells whether a
user signs in or out. I am able to use animatewindow to show my form.
however, whenever the form is shown, my parent form loses focus. In
that scenario of YM, the notify window is animated without stealing
focus from the main window. I have tried using ShowWindow noactivate
but it doesn't work with animatewindow, in which case, the window is
show nonactive but is not animated.

I am developing this in VB.NET. any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Cris
