I want to create a clock that will countdown the number of days left to a certain event. I want it to show, days, hours, minutes and seconds. If possible I woud like to make it a floating form or if possible to show in the task bar, is this possible to do and were could I find something like this to get me started on creating my own?

Not sure what you mean by floating (maybe a TOPMOST window, see SetWindowPos
and HWND_TOPMOST) but I think what you are wanting is to make an Explorer
"desk band".
