Hi Folks,
I have to develop an application in
java AWT/Swings, which will run on Windows XP and MAC OS (9+ and X).
One of the requirements is that I have to show some pop-ups from system tray on certain events from server(using web services).
Here condition is that if there is any application is running in full screen mode (for example : Movie, photo album, PPT or any other software), then I have to disable the display of the pop-up from system tray. By default the java system tray popups are always shown on top of any opened application, even over the applications which are running in fullscreen. Now I am not able to figure out that how can we check through java programming, if any non java (native) applciation is opened/running in full screen mode, so that I can disable my pop-ups.
I have searched hell lot of forums but no luck yet.
Last option which is available is that create a native language(c, c++) application and check for the full screen and then tell it to java applciation through JNI. But I do not want to go for that unless I find out there is no option available in Java.
Please help.Also though I know that Mac OS 9 is very old, I still need to develop application in it.
Thanks,
riddhi
