AutoHotkey Community

[zorglups]

Let me explain...

I have a minimized MSN conversation and my buddy sends me a message.
The conversation button will flash a few times in the taskbar then will stay highlighted until I activate the conversation.

Do you know how I could detect, using autohotkey, that a minimized window is or has been flashing ?

I have been reading the Styles and the Winget helps + searched through the forum for /(flash(ing)*)|(blink(ing)*)/ without success (well, actually, I discovered many other interresting things...)

Thanks in advance.

I don't know of any specific way, but you could try PixelSearch or ImageSearch.

Thanks.

I can't use a search on pixel because my taskbar is hidden by a rainlendar bar...

Have a nice day.

Maybe it is possible to intercept the Windows message that makes the MSN taskbar button flash, and perform some action (restore the MSN window, put a messagebox onto your screen, and whatnot).

Hooking other processes to monitor for messages isn't possible with AHK and isn't on the planned feature list I think. It's been discussed a bit before in the forum.
