Hi all,
I'm working on a dockband that sits in the taskbar.
Many thanks to Per Lindsų Larsen (euromind), as it's based on his
_DelphiBand unit.
But I need to go a bit farther. This unit, and all other examples that I've
seen produce opaque areas on the taskbar, instead of blending nicely. I've
tried transparency, layered forms, and have resorted to drawing the form
background with a bitmap. That sort of works, but I'd need to detect and
rotate between several bitmaps depending on color theme, taskbar height,
etc. A very ugly hack.
Has anyone figured out how to put a band onto the windows taskbar, and have
it blend in nicely?
ex: I want to have several buttons, and have them look like they're actually
sitting on the taskbar, instead of within an ugly grey panel that's stuck on
the taskbar.
Thanks,
Chris
