Finding a Window's State by lowaloysius on 03-28-2011 at 07:05 AM

hi all,

i wonder if there is anyone who can point me to the correct resource, or give me the information i need...

basically i want to write a script which is able to determine if a chat window is currently flashing or has flashed (not flashing, but stay lighted)...

if i'm not wrong, an external call to a windows dll is required but i'm not able to find out how or what...

greatly appreciate if someone could help me out here with this... thanks!

I don't think there is a way to detect the flashing. You have FlashWindow and FlashWindowEx both will only flash the window but not give you information about the current state and GetWindowInfo doesn't provide this information either.
