I've made a full-screen window (actually, a maximized frame window without a title bar) and it's fine, except that whenever I click anywhere in my window, the taskbar appears (It gets hidden when my window first opens) and later disappears when I click again. This is quite bugging. How can I hide the taskbar through my program after creating my window?

maybe you could make it a topmost window instead. as long as you have focus, and you cover the taskbar it may work. if the taskbar is set to topmost also the window with focus should have a higher priority.

My window does hide the taskbar when it starts, as I said. But I want my window to be at the bottom all the time, since I am trying to replace the desktop. What I really want from the taskbar is to be consistent... If it shows itself, it should be shown all the time. But the moment my window gets focus, it hides, and when it loses focus, it appears. The best options for me are to either keep it visible all the time or permanently hide it from the desktop window (not just cover it). Can you tell me how to do either?
