TaskbarButton

/
function action hwnd ;;action: 1 add (only if removed), 2 remove

Deletes or adds (if deleted using this function) taskbar button for window whose handle is hwnd.

So am I to understand that this function will now put a button in the taskbar for a window that was not hidden by this function?
Anyway to get a window registered in the taskbar that was not there before?

Also, is there anyway to change a windows style? Like adding a maximize, minimize, close button to them?


Perhaps could you open a window inside a QM dialog?

Look here: Multi-monitor taskbar
It uses another method.

Function TaskbarButton also can be modified to add any window.

Anyway to get a window registered in the taskbar that was not there before?

Add WS_EX_APPWINDOW extended style. Also it must be visible. Or use ITaskbarList interface, like in my multimonitor taskbar.

SetWinStyle

No.

SetWinStyle just goofs up the window when I try to use it for anything on these windows. Maybe I won't be able to add a minimize and maximize box to them.

Could not get window to show up in taskbar using TaskbarButton.

Used MMT_WinTaskbarAddRemoveButton to show window in taskbar. Window only shows in primary taskbar regardless of monitor in multimonitor system.

Information about the window:

Code:

Copy      Help

int hwnd=win("Production" "AudioWndClass")
int a=GetWinStyle(win("Production     " "AudioWndClass"))
int b=GetWinStyle(win("Production     " "AudioWndClass") 1)
int c=GetParent(win("Production     " "AudioWndClass"))
int d=GetAncestor(win("Production     " "AudioWndClass") 2)
int e=GetWindow(win("Production     " "AudioWndClass") GW_OWNER)

out a;;381943808
out b;;256
outw c;;0
outw d;;4589156 AudioWndClass "Production"
outw e;;524504 NexGen Digital "NexGen Audio Control System - 3 XXXX"

Maybe the program is just stange and won't cooperate here. I posted the above information because maybe you'll see something I don't know about.

Really just getting the window to show up in the right taskbar would be all I need done.

MMT_IsTaskbarWindow

int ho=GetWindow(hwnd GW_OWNER)
if(ho and ho!=GetDesktopWindow)

Got that...Works great. I can tweak.
