Help! Desktop property needed..

[Stoic]

Im creating a desktop ticker in C# that I wont to be displayed running
along active applications, on the right hand side of the screen
(similar to the longhorn sidebar).

My question is that when I launch my ticker, how do i adjust currently
running apps (e.g. IE/Notepad ..etc) so that they maximize around my
ticker, allowing the ticker to occupy the left part of the screen..
Thx

Well you can get the desktop rectangle by using the GetWindowRect
win32-api.
Have you tried moving this window to whereever you want using
SetWindowExtEx (win32-api)?
It is after all just a window like the other windows

Haven't tried this but it's what I would try first.

I think what you want is an AppBar:

This really isn't the most appropriate group to post this, however.
