RE: [DUG]: Hiding taskbar

2001-09-11 Thread David O'Brien 

How about making your app behave as a screen saver? This disables and hides
the task bar.

var
  NoUse: Integer ;
begin
  SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING, 0, @NoUse, 0);
end ;

Dave.

Subject: [DUG]: Hiding taskbar


I have a programme in which hiding the taskbar is crucial.
I use:
ShowWindow((FindWindowEx(0, 0, PChar('Shell_TrayWnd'), PChar(''))),
SW_HIDE);
The above line of code is in  AppOnActivate   andFormActivate.

My programme runs other programmes.
When returning from other progammes, all is well, except for one, which
displays an unwanted taskbar.

How can this be with the above code attached to both the above events? Any
ideas?

I normally hide the taskbar without bothering with Windows calls, by making
my app full screen.

I think all you have to do is to set the BorderStyle on your main form to
bsNone or bsSingle, from memory.
