AppBar - desktop tool bar

I am currently working on writing an application that functions like a
desktop tool bar (like aol - when it has its docking feature turned on,
Google Dekstop, or even when you right click your tool bar and say new tool
bar)

I have spent a little bit of time looking over the web and the msdn on ways
to do this and found a solution that required me to import the shell32 and
user32 dlls. I do not have any real problem with doing this, but I was
curious if an appbar type control already exists in the dot net framework and
if I there is a way to get around having to import these dlls

Thank you for any help you can offer,
Bob.

speaking of. Could you please clairify?

Thank you very much,
