I have a non hiding vertical taskbar because I find it most convenient for access to the start menu and for switching between maximised apps. However that means there's always a fair bit of empty space so I was wondering whether there is a way to embed an application (a note taker or a flashing alarm, say) in the taskbar in the same way as the Windows clock. If not, would it be possible to position an app over the taskbar and ensure that it always appears on top of it so as to give the illusion of being embedded. My preferred language is VB but I'll take suggestions in others if you consider them more appropriate.
Assuming this is on a later-than-XP version of Windows, take a look at the Windows API Code Pack v1.1. Here, you'll find APIs for manipulating the TaskBar - amongst lots of other things.
