I am busy creating a remoting application that will connect up to my remote
server and pull data every 1 minute. I would like to create a taskbar type
application that will sit above all other windows on my desktop to view this
data. Similar to a news scroller or ticker.

Here is a pic of what I mean: http://www.rubbachicken.com/taskbar.gif

Can anyone explain how to get the app to dock above all over apps like the
one in the image?

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam,

It seems that what you want is an AppBar.

Here are some links, you may take a look.
