I would like to know if there is any documentation on how you can create,
what I am calling a "ToolBar Application". An application like the Google
or Windows Media Player bars that can sit in the TaskBar as ToolBars. I
want to be able to right click on the TaskBar and select ToolBars and see my
application in the list and I want it to have my own functionality.

Thanks,

Hi Eric,

Based on my understanding, you want to make an application that can be
embeded into the taskbar such as Winamp and Windows Media Player.

To get this done, we should use .Net to create a COM control, which
implement several interfaces. For more information, please refer to the
article below:
"Extending Explorer with Band Objects using .NET and Windows Forms"

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to post it in the group. I am standing by to be
of assistance.
