    <p>What you are looking for is creating an <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc144177(VS.85).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Application Desktop Toolbar</a> (also known as AppBar). The main function you use to register your application window as an AppBar is <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762108(VS.85).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>SHAppBarMessage</code></a>.</p> <p>To get you started, you can look at this old <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/134206" rel="nofollow noreferrer">appbar example</a> with C++. If you want to do it in C#, there's a thread that discusses some <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/thread/49698e52-1a29-4f24-8e4e-69230020c551/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">details on how to do it in WPF</a>. I am not aware of examples of how to do it with WinForms, but a quick search on the web should bring something.</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> Actually, if you want a toolbar that sits on the taskbar, you need to implement a Deskband. Here's a sample <a href="http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/com-tech/atl/activex/article.php/c3595/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DeskBand in C++</a> and here's a <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/shell/dotnetbandobjects.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DeskBand in C#</a>.</p> <p>That's what happens when you don't touch a topic in a while. :-)</p> <h2>Source:</h2> <p>This is actually an already <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1641453/application-in-the-taskbar">answered question</a>.</p>
