I think the only way would be for your app to open the toast app, then making it invisible.
toast app?
A seperate application to perform the toaster popup.
lots of examples on this. Gizmo had a good one; http://www.clickteam.com/CTforum/showthreaded.php3?Cat=&Board=upload&Number=223529& page=&view=&sb=&o=
That one is really nice, and pretty much the same I did. However, it makes the main application lose focus. Any way around this?Quote:

edit frame 2 and add 'start of frame; (window control object) windows always on top'
alright that worked for the always showing part, but how about it not affecting focus?Quote:

you'd have to communicate back to the main app when the subapp opens and tell it to set on-top (if it was on top before, use a global value, 0 if not or 1 if it was, before the popup is created)
Only way I can see of doing it, or I haven't looked at the sub-app properties, it might be a popup in which case take the option off and it will fix it
there's no such thing as a "don't steal focus plz" checkbox D:Quote:
