Show in Taskbar like Winamp...

[Wolverine]

Hi people again!!
Here another complicated situation (to me)
I have an aplication that looks like Winamp.
The form has the property BorderStyle =0
So I can make that form to showintaskbar but I'll like to put an Icon
I was traying to do by common methods but it didn't work
Winamp has no Title bar like most windows has but when you minimize winamp you see the aplication title and an Icon, well can I do that??
The other thing is how can I make to other form to "paste" in the bottom, left side or right side of the main form??
I got a second form and I can make that second form moves when i got it in the left side of the main form but I can't capture the exactly coordinate when the second form is in the right or in the bottom of the main form
to be clear...Can I do the same thing that winamp does with for example the list of songs??
Thanks again!!

As for the taskbar icon, use this:

End Sub

Have an invisible form and have the icon on this.
