Anchor forms to desktop window

May 16 2006 7:03 AM
Hi,

I have being searching for weeks now, and this post is my last chance:

How can I launch a form that is integrated with the desktop window? By this I mean that each time the desktop window is brought to the front (either with WIN+D or clicking on the "Show desktop" icon) my form is shown on top of it.

I know it can be done, because Yahoo Widgets Engine (formerly Konfabulator) has an option that does exactly that (Always on bottom).

BTW, I do not want to make my form a child window of the desktop, since doing so would break my application if the explorer.exe process dies.

Anybody?

Thanks,
Fran
