Writing an AppBar type program with Delphi

[Michael Patrick Milligan]

Hi,

Does anyone know if an appbar type program can be
written in Delphi. I have a form with the form's
aligned property set to bottom. It's a couple
inches high. The users need to be running Netscape
or IE with it, but need to be able to get back to
the app easily as well. I'd like to be able to
have it rise up like the appbar does when the user
pulls the mouse pointer to the bottom of the
screen, and lower down when the the pointer is
moved off.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

Yes you can do this, but you need to use the app bar api to do it
right... there are a couple of components that help you do this, but
none of there are auto-hide... not even "ours" 8-)

Look in the API help for task bar.

Thanks. I'll look in app bar API help. I've been
reading what Marco has to say on forms, and he
also says it's complicated.
