How to make blinkable to a minimised window when data updated init it.

Hi,

When I am developing a chat application in AWT. The problem is the when the message is received into a window, think that the concerned window is minimised or inactive then how to get the blinkable focus on the taskbar to concerned window to get user attractin towards it.

What I think is , it iw OS level so it is not possible through AWT. Am I correct?

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm! You could possibly simulate that effect. What kind of window is this? Is it a frame window?Cheers!

You can do it with Frames (if you AWT) or JFrames (if you can use swing) by having an animator thread that changes the icon of the task once a second or so. It will appear to be blinking.

just alternate calls to something like this:

jframe.setIconImage(normalImage);

and

jframe.setIconImage(brightImage);
