XP Taskbar options toggle

[Joe1971]

Hello.

This is about writing and compiling a program, so I wasn't sure what
forum to write in.

I want to have a program that can toggle the Windows XP taskbar OnTop
and AutoHide options on/off.

With some searching I found out about ABM_SETSTATE, and I found a few
webpages that seem to provide SOME code in C++ or VB6 to do this.

But there is one or two possible problems:

1. I DO NOT know how to code Windows programs in any language.
2. It seems like the code provided is NOT COMPLETE since I get errors
when trying to compile the code in various free C++ and VB6 compilers.

Would someone please help?

Thanks,
Joe

Hi,

You might want to post your code in a C++ or VB group, including the headers
(include's as well). Frankly, what you are doing would be like me trying to
respond to you in Arabic. You need to understand the rules of the
programming language before you will be able to write in it with any chance
of reasonable success.
