Popping up a window



I don't know where to ask this question - but I think that here is probably the most likely...

I have an application which runs from the command-line. *PERIODICALLY* (actually, very rarely) I want to pop up a "notification"-style window. I want this window to appear on top of all other windows, and possibly be semi-transparent (the way that the bezel UI stuff is...) It should respond to a click (opening a url when clicked) and a timeout - after which, it just "goes away".

My question is that I don't know the best way to approach this. Is this something that I can easily implement using carbon? I'd prefer not to have to set up an entire application just to support the occasional display of this popup.

Also - along these lines, is it true that the carbon stuff will not be ported to 64-bit?
