Taskbar-like app

[Leonardo Bosi]

Hello,

I need to build a VB app which behaves like the Windows taskbar, which
means, capable to keep itself always on top and to limit the other
applications' workspace (for example, when other applications maximizes, I
want them to do so up to my application, which must be visible at every
time, just like the Windows taskbar). Could it be that to achieve this it is
necessary to change the dimensions of the desktop or something like this?

If anyone has an idea about how to implement this kind of behavior in my
app, please let me know.

Thanks,

Leonardo,

Look for the TAppBar class. It's also distributed via
www.vbAccelerator.com if that gives you an idea of it's quality.
