Hi Guys,

Win10 (ver. 1909,2004) is Win taskbar size "huge" because a new search bar is applied in the address bar too.

So, how can I create my own address bar?

What I have tried:

What am I tried? I create my own control, but I have no idea how I can it put it to the taskbar :(

Don't.

"You should use thumbnail toolbars in new development in place of desk bands, which are not supported as of Windows 7."

MS is actively discouraging making UI's in the taskbar. You can create an icon with something in the icon for visual feedback, but do not include any functionality for user input on the taskbar.

The COM objects still exist in Explorer to do this, but they can be removed at any time, even the next Windows feature update, effectively killing your apps functionality.
