Controls in windows tray/taskbar

Does anyone know how to put a textbox in the windows tray or taskbar (a
la google desktop search)

There is plenty of info on how to make your app. appear as an icon in
there but not adding custom controls to that area.

Hello vooose,

Where have u seen a custom controls in tray area?
I reckon there is not standard way to put there smth not iconized w/out hackneyed
visual covering of existing icons (like extended clocks that just cover your
standart clock).

Thanks for your reply. I havent ever seen it in the tray, but I have in
the taskbar (to the immediate left of the tray). If you get the google
taskbar, it sits in this area as a textbox.

So I guess I'm really asking two questions...Can you put one in the tray
OR the taskbar (easily) in c#?

At this stage looks like I'm having a WIN32 API look ;)
