Auto Hide Task Bar

[Guest]

Hi,
Is there a piece of code that Auto Hides the Task Bar

I am after the Task bar to hide when a workbook is open and come back after
the workbook closes.

Many thanks
John

Hope this helps.. I have a task pane, is that the same?

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Application.CommandBars("Task Pane").Visible = False

End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Close()

Application.CommandBars("Task Pane").Visible = True

End Su

Thanks Bearacade, but it was the Task Bar and not the Task Pane I wanted. I
could still use this on a different project though.
I did however try changing the Task Pane to Bar, but it didnt want to know.
Regards
John

I am having a brain fart, I could for the LIFE of me figure out wha
task bar was.. haha.. ok.. here goes.. put all of this in ThisWorkbook


Private Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nCmdShow As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" _
Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, _
ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long

Private Declare Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" _
Alias "FindWindowExA" (ByVal hWnd1 As Long, _
ByVal hWnd2 As Long, _
ByVal lpsz1 As String, _
ByVal lpsz2 As String) As Long

Sub TaskBar(blnValue As Boolean)
Dim lngHandle As Long
Dim lngStartButton As Long

lngHandle = FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", "")

If blnValue Then
ShowWindow lngHandle, 5
Else
ShowWindow lngHandle, 0
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Cmdhide()
Dim A As Boolean
A = False
TaskBar (A)
End Sub

Private Sub Cmdunhide()
Dim A As Boolean
A = True
TaskBar (A)
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Call Cmdhide

End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)

Call Cmdunhide

End Su

I wouldn't like your program if it changed the way I used windows.

It's not nice to play with other people's window's settings.
