Developing a toolbar like "Quick launch" for windows...

Hi everybody!

Recently I've been trying to add some features to one applicattion and, while working with the tray icon is fairly simple, I'd like to go a little further and try to make a toolbar like "Quick launch" or even better like "Windows Media Player Toolbar".
I've been searching a lot but it seems that nobody has tried it before...

Any ideas???

Hmya, you possibly overestimate your user's willingness to find room on the taskbar for yet another toolbar. But this article shows you how it is done.

Add a StatusStrip to your form. Use StatusLabel with the Image property set to create clickable buttons.

No no, my intention is not to have a toolbar at the bottom of my form, my intention is to make a toolbar for windows xp like "windows media player" toolbar, "iTunes Toolbar" or "Desktop search" , a toolbar you can install and add to the taskbar.

Thanks anyway
