minimizing application (like window system clock) 2

[diarratech]

I am writing a VB program which will act as a birthday reminder. This program should have the capability to be minimized like the Windows system clock with an icon or maximized when the user click on it.
The reason I want it minimized is because I'd like the application to be constantly running so that when the birthday is up, the application will pop up automatically.
I know I need to use some type of API coding scheme, but I have no idea how to go about miniminzing the program!

Thanks

If it is going to be a VB application set the windowstate property as minimized and refer to the window API call
FlashWindow in ur code on the day when the birthday comes so that the user will know that its something special with the application on that day
