Aligning a form on top of the taskbar on the desktop

Hi,

I've seen a few apps which place a long streched form on top of the windows taskbar (the one with the startmenu in it :p), now it sits there always on top and other windows don't resize behind it, but on top of it. Meaning they act like it is part of the taskbar so they don't cross it, it's like that space if preserved for that form only.

How can I do this ?

I want to create a ticker which sits there on the desktop and is visible all the time while working with windows.

Thnx

I have a sample which does this, check out:

Or navigate to www.windowsforms.com -> samples -> tools -> "A Windows Forms Application Desktop Toolbar"

Enjoy,
