I have a reference to the Build Window (OutputWindow) and the pane of the
build window that I want to write to (OutputWindowPane). I read in another
post that to flash the window (like you do when you build a
project/solution), you have to set the AutoHides property on the Parent of
the Build window to false, write to the pane, and then reset the AutoHides
property.

This doesn't seem to have the effect I want, but it works for the time
being. This effect is more like if I clicked the pushpin, wrote to the pane,
then clicked the pushpin again. What I want is like if I held my mouse over
the place where the window was docked to.

How can I acheive this?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
