Taskbar Context Menu

[Salem]

Hello everyone! :)

In case anyone wanted to replace the winxp system menu that pops up
every time you right click your apps taskbar button with your own
context menu read on...

I googled a little and i found that there is an undocumented 0x0313
windows message that's sent when the user rightclicks the taskbar button:

private const int WMTaskbarRClick = 0x0313;

All you have to do is to override the WndProc function and catch the
message in there like this:

protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
switch(m.Msg)
{
case WMTaskbarRClick:
{
// Show your own context menu here, i do it like this
// there's a context menu present on my main form so i use it

int contMenuX = Cursor.Position.X - this.Location.X;
int contMenuY = Cursor.Position.Y - this.Location.Y;

Point contMenuPos = new Point(contMenuX, contMenuY);

this.contMenu.Show(this, contMenuPos);

break;
}
}

base.WndProc(ref m);
}

Hope this is of some use to anyone. ;)
