customizing an iconised JInternalFrame on taskbar

[NIKHIL EROS]

i want that when i iconize or minimize a JInternalFrame window on taskbar, bases on certain condition its minimized icon should change its colour or looks (like in yahoo messenger, when a message comes, the minimized or iconized instant message window blinks!!)
is there any class available for such customizations?? how should i achieve this?
thanks in advance

Look at this post. It shows how to do this with a regular frame... shouldn't be too hard to change it for JInternalFrames...

Have you tryed:
if(messageArrived){
if(!frameToBeHighlighted.isActive()){
frameToBeHighlighted.setVisible(true);
}
}

I've used a similar snippet on a JFrame I've wanted to be highlighted when minimized. It worked perfectly on Vista 32. I suppose it has to be multi-platform, but I haven't tested it. GL!

Well, 1st of all thank you for welcoming me . I've reopened this thread because I've spent a lot of time on research on this topic, and I've finally come up with that simple answer yesterday. I thought that other developers that would have the same problem might benefit from my post. Anyway I hadn't had the time to read the forum rules just yet, so I'd like to apologize for reopening this post.
