Any clues? ppslider.exe is a standalone exe, and as such always shows itself in the taskbar. I'd have to modify code to make it go taskbar-invisible like this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc301403.aspx You could in principle try use the dll plugin to do a SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW; no idea if it would work. I'll check out adding an option to dialog plugin allowing dialogs that aren't taskbar visible. Then you could make a dialog with nothing but a slider, which would be my preferred solution (rather than modifying ppSlider, which is much lwess integrated into powerpro).
