Making a Window Always on Top and Docked

1 New Member
Hi
I want to design a toolbar kind of application (NOT IE toolbar), rather a
stock market update kind of toolbar that would show at the top of the screen,
and will occupy that top area permanently meaning that other applications
will not be able to occupy the area occupied by toolbar. How can I do so in
.NET windows forms.

Please note that I am not talking about 'always on top' kind of feature,
rather a docking kind of feature on windows desktop. Just as the windows taskbar occupies a permanent space. My program window which will be of the height of a normal toolbar will occupy space on the top of the screen.


Any solution to this problem in .net windows forms.

Thanks.

-Sami
