Taskbar

I know this is probably a crazy question by anyways here go's. Is there anyway to put a taskbar within a MDIParent form?

I wonder , why would you think of something like this ?:rolleyes:

with proper thinking you can create on if you so desire

it was just a thought to organize open windows in my application but i think thats a little far fetched thanks though.

i managed creating a mdi taskbar by using a toolbar and adding and removing buttons programatically.
i used radiobuttons (with style = pushbutton). I used a custom toolbar control but the default toolbar wolud do just fine i think.
Also during my quest for the perfect looking taskbar i also stopped a little looking at the tabcontrol (i resized it so that it only showed the tabs and not the pages.
anyway the whole thing needs some code written.

Another way you could do this is with a panel control which could dock on any edge you wish, and then draw your buttons using GDI+ and capture a click event on the panel when your mouse is over one of the drawn buttons.
I am currently working on somthing like this for one of my own creations, I'll be happy to share the results with you.

God all the answers sounded so difficult, did the same thing but just created it as a an MDI cild within the parent container in it's own form
