Docking a window to the taskbar

I'm in the process of writing an internal ticker app. How do I dock this to
the taskbar (or the sides of the screen for that matter) and have it so
maximised apps don't obscure it. Something to do with setting the working
area perhaps ?

Thanks.

Hi Richard,

You need to set Topmost = true for the form

Happy coding!

This would mean apps will maximise underneath it, which is not good. An
example app which does what I want is the BBC news ticker
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/help/3223354.stm).

Cheers.
