Dock my form on the desktop??

Hi,

In the buttom of my mesktop, I have the processbar (hope that it's
called processbar, because I translated it from Danish).

If I maximize an application, the processbar is always visible.

Now I want to make my form act like the processbar and dock to the left
side of the desktop, so if the user maximizes an application then the
processbar and my form will always be visible.

(If you know "radio@nets cape plus" then if you minimize it, it does
excatly what I want to do).

Hope you understand what I mean (I want to "owe" a space on the desktop :o).

Thanks in advance!

Maybe an appbar?

I have a forms application which has many controls such as buttons,labels,listviews,text boxes etc. If you set the window size to maximum size so that it would expand to the size of the screen the controls tend to move without any proposion. So then I used anchor and the dock property. I could get some or most of them to appear correctly, but say you have to list boxes in the middle of the screen one after the other vertically how could...

Does anyone know how to dock a window on the desktop? A good example is AOL Instant Messenger. It has the option to dock on the desktop. When docked, it takes the sizable tool FormBorderStyle. -- I am a 14 year old C# developer, I am completely self taught, so please don't get mad if I ask a stupid question. Thanks.

Hi all i`m having a small problem with windows forms, i`m attempting to provide the following functionality to a form. Ability to drag and drop another form onto a form and then to dock this form... Quite a mouthful however a good example of this is within the VS.NET 6 IDE. Grab your solution explorer panel and drop it outside of the IDE, then drag/drop it back in and watch it dock.

Anyone know how to dock a form to the desktop? To clarify, I want my form to be fixed to the top of the screen, and all maximized forms to not cover up my form or be covered up by my form. Instead their top border should touch the outside of my form's bottom border. Thanks

I just wanted a little practice with the WebBrowser control, so I did the VB guided tour example here in C#: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a08t4ke7(VS.80).aspx The tutorial asks to put a Panel with a Button and TextBox in it, and a WebBrowser below it. Then, it sets the Panel's Dock property to be Top. It sets the WebBroswer's Dock property to be Fill. But, the WebBrowser then fills the entire form! Even though the Panel's...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
