    Hi, Gentlmen, Were windows a Big From?

    After do some programmings, I find whether the windows(esp. the Explorer.exe) is a big form.

    If it's true, there must be some methods to operate the windows'
    Attribultes.

    Well, I'm rather interesting in doing that!

    Hmmmmmm...

    Maybe we can do some programs to simulate the WinXP style in Win98,

    Yeah, There already some ones to do the thing.

    Hmmm, Sorry for my poor English.

    I've seen a lot of people do a lot of work to get win98 to look like XP. I just don't get it. I have XP pro at home, but I am using "Windows Classic" interface. I think the Windows XP themes look cartoonish - reminds me of AOL (AO-Hell).

    Win95 is no longer supported by Microsoft and Windows 98 already had one foot in the grave. I my opinion (and yes I realize it is only my opinion) if a user wants it to look like XP, then they should install XP

    Resistance is futile, you will be compiled . . . Please!

    I can't believe you spelled the word 'English' wrong while criticizing someone elses English.

    goto http://www.planet-source-code.com and search for shell replacement in the VB section. There are some examples of this there.

    Well, Gentlemen.

    As I said, if the windows is a big form,

    I thought we can similar operation to operate the windows as we do in our programs.

    En, For example,

    Print words on the Taskbar,

    I can't do it until now

    Haha, I wondered who can do it?

    it's not a big VB Form... plus the taskbar is its own object.. it is on the windows desktop and part of explorer.. but it has its own hwnd and can be manipulated seperatly..

    Well, the desktop is simply a window object and as for the "big form" thing, the window that covers the desktop to show the icons is a basicaly a ListView window that cover the whole screen. Like kleinma said, it as it's own window handle and can be manipulated by diverse API functions.

    and you mentioned before you wanted to write text on the taskbar, that's not hard at all... just get the taskbar hwnd and use textout to print text.
