request user attention on Mac doesn't always work, are there perquisites?

Hello everyone,

I request the user's attention on Mac OS X when showing dialogs. I have one case where it doesn't work, it is for my task bar icon. I call RequestUserAttention() on the parent, a Frame that is not always shown. Sometimes it works, that is I get the bouncing action on the dock, but sometimes it does not. What are the perquisites for the user attention mechanism to trigger?

Thank you,
Gabriel

Hello Robin,

Sorry for the long delay, it's working now, I'm not sure what i did to fix it as I modified/fixed lots of other stuff. Thanks for your interest,
