Hello again, I'm trying to do two things in a Swing program, and I was wondering if there was Swing/AWT support for doing these: 1) Flash the window bar to bring it to the user's attention (as many instant messenger clients do) 2) Check if there's another instance of the swing program running already and if so, quit In "Delphi", #1 would be handled something like this: FlashWindow(i, TRUE); // invert the title bar Sleep(500); // wait a bit FlashWindow(i, TRUE); // invert again But I haven't found any corresponding Swing functionality. I can always do #2 by doing something like having the client open up a server socket on some unlikely port, and any client which cannot will exit (because it will have been opened by the first one). However; this is prone to problems with a poor port. In windows programs, you can "FindWindow" or walk the process tree to see if your program is already running; how do you do it in a Swing program?
