In the VCL The main window of your app is actually a child of the invisible
application window, so to flash the taskbar button for your application pass
Application.Handle to the FlashWindow() function. Use a timer to toggle the
second parm on and off... this is how I did it in Builder:
void __fastcall TForm1::FlashTimerTimer(TObject* Sender)
{
static bool state = false;
state = !state;
::FlashWindow(Application->Handle, state);
}
Don't know how that translates into Delphi, but you'll figure it out no
doubt :>
