Hi all,
For a while now, I'm checking documentation to find a way to change the always on top property of the main task bar.
I saw SHAppBarMessage() but found no way to change the property from there. I can only change the AutoHide property which is not what I want.
Thanks for help !

said you can autohide it, but cant set it on top. well, im trying to set it to
autohide, and am having a lot of trouble. can you send me the source on how to
hide it.

Well, unfortunatly I missed my personal computer at this moment with my Visual C++ compiler.
But if my memory is good enough I could say that the response is in SHAppBarMessage().
Try to ask MSDN about this, there's a sample code with the autohide possibility.
As I remember I've adapted this to my code and it worked pretty well.
But I'm still looking for 'always on top' properties and how to set it off.
Please let me know if you get a solution.
I'll tell more once I'll get my PC back on my desk.
Regards,
