Is it possible to make the window block thing in your toolbar flash when an event happens?
i couldnt really think of what function would do this.

Other applications seem to manage it when they want user attention.
So I'm going with "yes" as being the answer to your question, it is possible to do that.

Its not a simple function call -- you have to code something that will such as 1) erase the icon, 2) wait a few milliseconds, and 3) redraw the icon. Repeat for as long as you want it to appear to be flashing. Don't ask me how to do it because I don't know without doing a considerable amount of research.

You might try FlashWindow() or FlashWindowEx().
