There may be an option in the IM application that lets you tell it not
to flash like that. This would solve the CPU taxing problem, but it
might of course change what events happen when an IM comes in. Some
IM programs also let you request that a new IM pop up its window
automatically on arrival.
My first approach would be to see whether the application itself will
let you fix the problems without scripting.

Hi
I was looking for some advice on how to get a part of this application to
work with Jaws.
This is an instant messenger application which ships along with Lotus
Notes. The problem I have with it is that I don't know when someone starts
a new chat with me or indeed answers a conversation. A new application
appears in the task bar and starts flashing. This has the effect of using
resource to the point where Jaws stops responding and the fan goes mad.
>From using Spy++ on the taskbar it looks like a call to the FlashWindowEx
API function is being used to make the IM window flash every second. What
I want to do is to grab that event and bring the instant message window to
the front. Trouble is I don't know how to do this. Any ideas? There may
well be a simple way round this that I've just missed so any ideas are
duely welcome. Are there any other applications out there that do
something similar which are scripted already?
Thanks in advance for any help.
