How does Microsoft One Note 2010 implement a window that is docked to the desktop?

Question

I just used this feature for the first time - in MS One Note 2010, click on the \"Dock to Desktop\" button.

The application then literally docks itself to the bottom

You will probably have a lot of trouble doing this with WinForms, but it might be possible -- probably, you'll have to do a lot of low level WinAPI stuff with PInvoke to make it work.

Answer 2

It probably uses SHAppBarMessage; example & a vb6 article simply because it has an illustration.
