MSN-like popup

[MechatheSlag]

Hi, how would I be able to make a popup equal to the one im program like MSN has? I tried using subapplications, but they make the main application lose focus. Examples would be appriciated.

I think the only way would be for your app to open the toast app, then making it invisible.

A seperate application to perform the toaster popup.

That one is really nice, and pretty much the same I did. However, it makes the main application lose focus. Any way around this?

edit: also, they do not appear when the application doesn't have focus.

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?
