SideBar - MainForm Approach Help

Hi,

I am attempting to right a small project of a desktop sidebar. What I want
to be able to do is make my mainform (Container for all self written
plugins) to have no border but be resizable. Also it needs to be either
docked to the right or the left of the dekstop, and adjust any other app
windows to use its most inward point to be their maximised region.

I am at a loss at the moment how to go about doing this. what I am trying
to achieve is something like www.desktopsidebar.com, I am not trying to
re-invent the wheel but I am using this as a learning curve for skinning,
remoting (by plugins that other authors could write) etc.. so any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks
Martin
