Customize TaskBar Menu

Hello,

I'm trying to add a "Send to Notification Area" item to the context menu for
my application's taskbar button.  (For example, right-click a CHM file
(i.e., SQL Server BOL) in the taskbar, and it has three extra menu
items...Separater, Jump to URL, and Version.)

The only thing I found that might be what I'm looking for is in C#
(below)...having a hard time translating.  How do I do this in VB.NET?

Thank you!

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern bool AppendMenu (IntPtr hMenu, Int32 wFlags, Int32
wIDNewItem, string lpNewItem);

public const Int32 WM_SYSCOMMAND = 0x112;
public const Int32 MF_SEPARATOR = 0x800;
public const Int32 MF_STRING = 0x0;
public const Int32 IDM_ABOUT  = 1000;

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
IntPtr sysMenuHandle = GetSystemMenu(this.Handle, false);
AppendMenu(sysMenuHandle, MF_SEPARATOR, 0, string.Empty);
AppendMenu(sysMenuHandle, MF_STRING, IDM_ABOUT, "About...");
}

protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
if(m.Msg == WM_SYSCOMMAND)
 switch(m.WParam.ToInt32())
 {
  case IDM_ABOUT :
   MessageBox.Show("This is About dialog");
   return;
  default:
   break;
 } base.WndProc(ref m);
}

That'll be the Window Menu. This is done via InterOp and you will find a VB
and a C# implementation on my site.
