Hi,

I am write a taskbar application. Works fine but I have a little issue.
When I resize the Windows taskbar and if I have a maximized window, the window size is updated.
In my application, when I start it, I'm not able to update all windows that are open in my desktop.

This is how I am make the change of the work area

C++

SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETWORKAREA,
    0,
    &workArea,
    SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE|SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE);

Can anyone knows how to set the desktop work area and send a message to all windows to be resized?

Best reguards

I figured out the solution to my problem. Found this article here in CodeProject:
Here is the link:
C# does Shell, Part 3[^]

To create a task application, must use SHAppBarMessage function for these purpose and not the SystemParametersInfo function that was I did.
