    I want to be able to show a form and have it appear on top of the task bar (one that is set to always on top) I know that when you right click a system tray icon the PopMenu appears on top of the task bar. How can I get a small form to do that? I have tried:

    MyForm.ZOrder
    SetForegroundWindow MyForm.hwnd

    but the form always shows up underneath the taskbar. Is this possible? Obviously the Popmenu seems to have the ability...

    You can put your app on top and put taskbar not on top. But i don't think it is this you're looking for. You need to catch the event when taskbar gets focus, or put a loop or timer that puts your app on top all the time
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
