Re: Reducing screen size in Win7?

Gentlemen,

Another nasty question. I have this little program - a toolbar - which I want to place on, in my case, the left side of the screen. But I want it to reduce the screen client size so that when other programs run I don't get their left-most bits underneath my toolbar. In Windows XP, you could drag a folder to the edge and it became a toolbar, and subtracted from the screen client area. I want to do the same. But I can't seem to use setClientRect() - and if it did work then it would simply move my toolbar across too as it lives in the screen client area. As it is, I have moved the z-order to topmost but that doesn't, of course, atop maximised programs going underneath it.

Do you follow? And if, so do you have any suggestions?
