You should look at the Windows API Code Pack, this will give you what you require.

The feature is called 'Thumbnail Toolbar'. There are some icons you can use on your buttons in the SystemIcons class.

ThumbnailToolbarButton infoButton = new ThumbnailToolbarButton(SystemIcons.Information, "Information");
infoButton.Click += delegate {
    // Action
};

TaskbarManager.Instance.ThumbnailToolbars.AddButtons(this.Handle, infoButton);
