Hi there

I am looking to make an app that can "dock" at the top of my screen and act
as a ticker/toolbar.

I would like to be able to place it at the top of all other applications so
it is always visible, like a toolbar.

Does anyone have any links to code to help me get started?

Cheers,

Sam
 
Hi Sam,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need to make an app like Taskbar in
windows. If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

Based on my research, there are some code samples on the internet that we
can refer to. Setting Form.Topmost property to true will make the form at
the top of all the forms. We then move the window to the side of the
screen. This can be achieved by either managed code or API call.

Here is some sample code that has similar goals as yours.

Thanks Kevin

That is exactly what I want to do. I am a web app developer so get
frustrated in windows apps.

I am trying to find a C# sample though.

Cheers,

Sam
