"Dock" form to desktop

I need is some "simple" code that, how to say, "reserves" space to the right of the screen like for instance the ICQ contact list does, to ensure that all normal windows does not overlap.

Does anyone know how to do this? I have found huge modules that allows you to create a docking toolbar like the MS Office one that can be moved around and docked at every screen border etc. but I cannot find out how much and which code from these giant modules I should use.

Can't you just use the SetWindowPos API function to make your form stay on top of all others ?.

SetWindowPos just adjusts the window so that it is on top. What I need is to "push" the other windows to the right so that they do not overlap, even if the other windows are maximized they must not fill the entire screen.

Check into ShAppBarMessage...

API Declaration:

VB Code:

Public Declare Function SHAppBarMessage Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "SHAppBarMessage" (ByVal dwMessage As Long, pData As APPBARDATA) As Long

I have tried to work around with that API but I cannot find out how it works entirely. Anyone??
