Need advise on VDS Program Taskbar.
Is it possible to have vds program to act as a taskbar?

With button options for:

1. Auto-Hide the VDS Taskbar.
2. Put VDS in the system tray.

Thank you, Mike

Thank you skit3000 for open source pointer.

Could someone provide solution for Garrett's Auto Hide Taskbar Example to place taskbar at top of screen instead of bottom?

Thank you. Mike

It's all in one line:

Code:
DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,240,160


-1 is the position from the top, 0 from the left... Make the -1 a 0 and you'll enjoy a taskbar on the top of the screen...

Located at = [Open Source]: Windows Shell
Script is from Garrett. Taskbar at bottom of window.

What modifications are required to get the Taskbar at top of window?

I posted a new example of the same taskbar, but now auto hides at the top of the screen, instead of the bottom.

Thanks Garrett for the "At Top" task bar.

Is it possible to have a function key that would bring

down your taskbar after it hides?

You might want to try Tommy's VDSHOT.dll which allows you to specify hotkeys. It is included in the VDSPACK DLL, which you can find at VDSWORLD.com

Yes, grab that hotkey dll. You can have the taskbar open when the hotkey is pressed, but you'll have to come up with some new code to keep it open until the mouse is over the task bar.. Otherwise, the way I have it now, it will only stay open for a second (give or take some milliseconds that is) until it hides again. The timer is based whether or not the mouse is over the task bar, if it's not, the timer starts and when it hits the end, the task bar will hide, unless the mouse is brought back over the task bar again.

I don't have any code sitting around for that right now, and I'm a bit short on time right now, so I can't toss something together quickly for you.
