pagego Posted May 20, 2003 Author Posted May 20, 2003 Not What I Meant Sorry, I mean that a seperate application docks on top of the Windows Desktop as if it were another start menu, but on the top. I have seen this done before, I just don't know how to do it. Quote
*Gurus* divil Posted May 20, 2003 *Gurus* Posted May 20, 2003 I don't know of any .net sample code, but Steve from vbAccelerator has code posted in vb6, called appbar class I think, that allows you to register your form as reducing desktop space like you want to do.

pagego Posted May 20, 2003 Author Posted May 20, 2003 Still Doesn't Help That code still doesn't help because it is in VB6. I need something in VB.NET Quote
*Gurus* divil Posted May 20, 2003 *Gurus* Posted May 20, 2003 Well yes, it does help. There isn't likely to be any vb.net sample code that does it so you might have to put in the effort and port it.
