How to make IDEA task bar button flash

Hello Jens,

Every once in a while I let IDEA do some longer running task and do
some other work in a different application. When IDEA has finished
that task, the IDEA button in the task bar (I'm using Windows, BTW)
starts flashing.

Is there a way to force that behavior in the OpenAPI?

Just request the focus. :) This is standard Windows behavior which has nothing
to do with our OpenAPI.

Hello Dmitry,

yes, I had been pondering that, but I don't know on which Component.

No hint? How do I get a suitable AWT component on which to call requestFocus() from the Project object?

WindowManager.getInstance().getFrame(project)

Hi Dmitry,

thanks for the quick response; however calling requestFocus() on that component has no effect, no blinking at all. :(
