Hi all,

does anyone of you know how I can get the position (top, left), of a vds-taskicon?

Regards,
Vic

Getting Taskicon position is very difficult forget VDS even in C++. There is no such command and as a work around people have used a black icon momentarily scan the taskbar notification area for a bunch of grey (yes!! system plays lot of games there) pixels and change it back rapidly to normal then to show the balloon tip.
I think you are looking for the same in XP as taskicon can get hidden.
You may use a similar trick.

Also I don't know if you can get the ID of the taskicon - I saw an API i think. I left all these as VDS is not supporting more than 8 parameters. So more after the VDS update is out Smile

Couldn't one of the DLL-developers create a dll that calls the API to get the icon id and than returns the result?

Or, even better, create a DLL that can act as a gateway to support more than eight parameters by calling an api:?:

WOW! A new version of VDS Worship

?

Any clue about when it will be released? I ask this because I am planning to register a vds professional licence, and it would be stupid to register vds5 when there's an new version comingup Laughing

Not sure yet. It is just an update to VDS 5, so you can register VDS 5 now.
