      You can get the active window using GetActiveWindow API defined in user32.dll You will have to periodically check for the active window.

        I don't think there is a way to see if it's flashing. You can make it flash[^] if you want though.

            It's a long shot, but this article[^] may help you get the flashing state. Once you have the toolbar button, you maybe able to find a Win32 api function that gets the flashing state of the toolbar button.
