Description
Starts a user attention request.Returns the identifier for the request. You can use this value to cancel the request later using the App.CancelUserAttentionRequest method.
Activating the app cancels the user attention request. A spoken notification will occur if spoken notifications are enabled. Sending App.RequestUserAttention to an app that is already active has no effect.
If the inactive app presents a modal panel, this method will be invoked with critical = 1 automatically. The modal panel is not brought to the front for an inactive app.
This method is a way to have the dock icon jumping.
