One way would be to simply use the desktop window as your window and make desktop window the parent of your controls.

Simply create a form and put all the control on a panel. Then use the handle from GetDesktopWindow to set the parent of that panel. Maybe some adjustments to place it top-right of the screen and there you go.

Good luck!
