Disclaimer: I am by no means an expert in this field. This is just an idea I got. Instead of developing a C app that makes win32 calls you could have developed a COM object in VB6 or Delphi. I belive they both have a method called FlashWindow that makes the win32 call. You could then have used a library like JACOB: http://danadler.com/jacob/ to integrate the the COM object. That would also make integrating into the system tray or something like that in the future less scary. I don't master C programming beyond the basics, so maybe it is just me crossing the river for water here. An open source project with code to solve all this on all common platforms would surely be most welcome!
