Hi, I'm developing a email client and I want the screen to flash briefly when I receive a mail. I searched anywhere I could in .NET documentation, but the only way I found to achieve it was to use DirectX functions which is of course impossible : I don't want my users to install DirectX only for a mail client :) Is there a way to do th...

On Windows/.NET can you think of a way of somehow launching an existing application in the background so the user can not see it but I can interact with it with regular API calls (clicking buttons and such)? This would come in really useful for "wrapping" old applications that I cannot modify. ...

With this group of programs if something has 'gone wrong' (i.e. they need restarted) the program will appear in task manager as 'not responding'.
