 Posted: Tue Jun 01, 2004 5:41 pm Post subject: Taskbar Management Help Needed |
 |
|
Hiding the Windows taskbar is simple enough, but how do I control the "Always on top" property from within VDS?
If the taskbar is set to "Always on top," hiding the taskbar results in an empty, non-fillable space where the taskbar normally resides. I want to make sure "Always on top" is switched to OFF (unticked) in order to make use of the full screen.
Every reference I've found talks about right-clicking the taskbar, selecting Properties, removing the checkmark, etc. Is there a registry setting or API call that can accomplish this automatically? |

You can enable and disable it in win2k using the following reg settings...
(note the value following the 4 FF's...)
(Disable)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2]
"Settings"=hex:28,00,00,00,ff,ff,ff,ff,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,3e,00,00,00,1e,00,00,00,fe,ff,ff,ff,e4,02,00,00,02,04,00,00,02,03,00,00
(Enable)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2]
"Settings"=hex:28,00,00,00,ff,ff,ff,ff,02,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,3e,00,00,00,1e,00,00,00,fe,ff,ff,ff,e4,02,00,00,02,04,00,00,02,03,00,00
Haven't checked it in XP or 9X...
Enjoy...

Yes you can try that...
BTW why do you want to hide the taskbar?
You can simply display your app dialog fullscreen without it by other ways.
For Example here is a simple way (one line code) of doing it with VDSGUI extension.
I have tested it on XP - but prolly should work on any windows version.
You can download the extension form the link in my sig.
| Code: |
EXTERNAL VDSGUI,DEMO
#DEFINE COMMAND,GUI
DIALOG CREATE,GUI Fullscreen,-1,0,240,160,class testwin
DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,BUTTON1,107,49,142,43,BUTTON1,,DEFAULT
DIALOG SHOW
:EVLOOP
WAIT EVENT
GOTO @EVENT()
:BUTTON1BUTTON
GUI WindowStyle,ADD,#testwin,FULLSCREEN
GOTO EVLOOP
:CLOSE
EXIT
