Yes, the old chestnut ... how do you hide the taskbar ?
The standard approach is to do a ShowWindow(FindWindow
('Shell_TrayWnd',nil), SW_HIDE) etc.
But ... if you're running Sophos virus scanner, it obligingly turns the
taskbar back on again ! Of course a timer can keep it turned off but then
it flickers !
I've come across :
SendMessage(Findwindow('Shell_TrayWnd', nil), ABN_FULLSCREENAPP, 0, 0);
but all this really does is to destroy the taskbar - WM_DESTROY =
ABN_FULLSCREENAPP.
That certainly works but how to reinstate it ?
So any ideas on how to temporarily hide the taskbar without 3rd party apps
turning it back on again ?
