Was this meant to be directed to me? You will need API calls to determine the size of the desktop and where the window sits in the desktop, but why direct this to me? Just wondering...

>If you know you want a horizontal form with N small controls to float around the desktop, you can just create the form and set ShowWindow to "Top-level" and make put screen=off in Config.FPW- It'll give you the quick access to the buttons, but won't dock like the Taskbar or resize (unless you code it to)
Again, was this meant to be directed to me? I know all this. I referred to a program that I made just a few weeks ago that does this. But I wasn't asking any questions.
Anyways, back to the original post: I think it is clear that Edward Gioja wants something that acts like a toolbar in the Windows desktop.
