Creating Toolbar In Windows Taskbar
Sep 25, 2007I'm writing an application that I want to keep status text always on the taskbar. Some programs like Windows Media player create a toolbar that can be added to the taskbar. Is there a way to do this in VB.NET, and if so how ... ?
I can create a notifyicon, and although it can be used to display notifications I need the text information to always be displayed... I could have used different icons to show a change in status in the notifytray but I really need text to display the status.

DeskBand Objects (Taskbar Toolbar) In .net?
Feb 18, 2011I'm looking into figuring out how to add a deskband as a toolbar to my taskbar, very similar to the google desktop search toolbar. All it needs to have is a search textbox, a button, and some way to display results.
I want to add it to an existing application, so that when the application is minimized it'll turn into a toolbar so that certain program functions will be available all the time.This means that I have a few things to figure out:We mostly have windows xp machines, but we hope to upgrade to windows 7 over the next year. In light of this, should I keep researching deskbands, or should I try to figure out thumbnail toolbars? I've seen a link to [URL].. as one way to do it in C#, which I might be able to translate to VB.Net. I also found [URL].. which kind of tells how to do things. Is there a better way to accomplish this?Should I just skip all of this and have a small windows form that opens up from an icon in the system tray?

View 5 RepliesSHAPPBARMESSAGE - Created A Desktop Toolbar In My Application
Sep 28, 2011I am using Visual Basic .Net 2010. I have created a desktop toolbar in my application. I can dock it on any side of any monitor I have. I can move it. It works great. One problem I have, however, is that when I move the toolbar to another edge it appears to leave something behind. The desktop looks clean, but when I ALT+TAB through my applications, I have several items in the list that apparently are left behind from previous locations of the toolbar.
I am using SHAppBarMessage(ABM_REMOVE,abd) as I leave the old location and then SHAppBarMessage(ABM_NEW,abd) and SHAppBarMessage(AMB_ACTIVATE, abd) (With abd.lParam set to true) and SHAppBarMessage(ABM_SETPOS,abd) and SHAppBarMessage(AMB_WINDOWPOSCHANGED,abd).
One item I saw in an article was the uCallBackMessage parameter of the AppBarData structure. I do not know how to set this correctly and respond to callback messages. I do have a Protected Override Sub WndProc method, but I do not know what to do with it.

View 2 RepliesCreating A Program That Once Installed Was A Windows Toolbar ?
Nov 6, 2011I'm wondering how I would go about creating a program that once installed was a windows toolbar. What I'm trying to do is similar to the clipboard, but I want to customize it to my own style. I work in a data entry job and many of the bills we enter have similar information that I'd like to be able to enter without repeated typing. I'd like the toolbar to be docked to the top of the screen, and have several buttons on it. Clicking a button, while having a focus in my data entry program, would paste the button's text (or the full text of what the button caption represented) into the selected field. Alternately, if focus between multiple applications is too difficult to try, then clicking the button would highlight the text and copy it to the windows clipboard, so I could then click back into my data entry program and hit ctrl-v. I dont need help on the program itself...just on how to make it as a windows toolbar, if possible.

View 3 RepliesApi - Making A Thumbnail Toolbar (windowsAPICodePack,windows 7) Button Invisible?
Nov 1, 2009I'm trying to make a thumbnail toolbar button (TTB from now on)visible when the it is clicked. I know how to do stuff when it is clicked, AddHandler etc. But if I tell it TTB.visible=false then it doesn't become invisible. If I put TTB.enabled = False it will be disabled, so it's only the visible that isn't working.
Also I put a button on my form (not a TTB) and when that is click wrote, TTB.visible = false and that didn't work, so there is no way to make it invisible.
