Always on Top

[hyousuf2]

hi i want a form to be displayed wid accurate coordinates every time like this, it should always start above the Taskbar, shoud'nt be moveable or resizeable n always be on top, like if a new window opens then it should be above that form.
my question is similar to Spedia bar if ne body has seen it !

if you have vb6 you can use form layout to set where you want your form to load. form layout is found in lower right hand corner of vb6. and for keeping the form on top:

Private Sub Form_Load() 
Call SetWindowPos(FrmName.hwnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, FLAGS) 
End Sub

Use the label method everytime you run program in the top

SetWindowPos

Here is a sample program ( a modified version of something from psc that was downloaded long time ago).
It doesn't include SetWindowPos, trough, but it calculates Taskbar dimensions and position so you can place your form presizely where you want it.

well i found how to get the dimensions of the taskbar, but wat abt placing the form on Top.

It has been suggested to you numerous times already: use SetWindowPos() api function (samples could be found in this thread).
