Hi,

I am trying to use the FlashWindow function to one of my main program forms
so it will blink if the application is minimized or my program is not the
current active program so I used

FlashWindow(Form1, true);

although it doesn't seem to work....what I am doing wrong

thanks

FlashWindow() expects an HWND window handle, not a TForm pointer, ie:

    FlashWindow(Form1->Handle, true);
