[RESOLVED] Snap to side of screen, resizing maximized windows

[ITsME898]

Hi there

Long time since I was active on this forum, but I recently picked up VB.NET again. I'm working with VS 2010 Express now, and I want to create a little app that resides on the side of my screen (about 40px wide), to collect data.

I've seen this program, Trillian, 'docking' to the right side of my screen, thereby making the maximized size of all windows just as much as the space left of the application window. In other words, even if I maximize other programs, the Trillian application stays visible at all times, on the right side of my screen.

Now I was wondering, is there any similar effect possible with VB.NET?

Thanks in advance, this would help me a huge lot.

you can use the SHAppBarMessage API function to do that.
here's an example project:

Thank you very much, it's exactly what I was looking for
