Give a bit more details about what exactly you are trying to do, please.
The taskbar has different areas, in a nutshell: start menu button, quick launch buttons, applications, notification area (also called 'system tray' on MSDN). The last is where programs running in the background can add an icon and programatically change it on runtime, e.g. Winamp, Vuze or instant messengers. Is there anything else... maybe you can show a screenshot or link.

We hope you are a normal windows user.
Otherwise no need to participate in such forums.
No need of screenshot to understand the question.
Hope you have seen the media player option in Taskbar(Right click on task bar ->Toolbar->Media player )
check that option and start a media player and minimize the window

I quite enjoy helping people, you should try it once.

It will be hard for anyone to help people who are unwilling to communicate or describe what they are looking for. You are not making friends by barking at people who are trying to help in their free time. Could you please be so kind and let us now help user kk.tvm with his original question?

I was helping by not providing the wrong information

those are implemented as dockable windows called DeskBands. I didn't dig much into it. See here.
In Win7, better to use a taskbar button with a thumbnail toolbar, as Deskbands are no longer recommended. From Vista onwards there is a ITrayDeskBand Interface
Do CoCreateInstance on this interface, call ShowDeskBand() with CLSID of toolbar which you create to show on task bar.
Please let us no how how you are acheiving the task

Hello Friends
I am creating a application on 32bit OS.but now I want to run that application 64bit native OS not on WOW64(that is 32bit compatible).
To do that I updated 64 bit compiler on my 32 bit machine which is having 32 bit OS.Through Configuration Manager i made following changes:
1)I added x64 new active solution platform.
After that i recieve that Error:
error LNK1112: module machine type 'x64' conflicts with target machine type 'X86'
And after this I googled And tried all these things:
1)First i searched on code Project and found one thread discussing abt same but no result.
2)After setting x64 new platform In Configuration Properties,linker,advanced,target machine was Machinex64 and I tried by changing to x86 and not set also.
3)I tried by removing additional option from command line under Linker which is under configuration Properties.
And After that I tried all these things on 64bit OS with 64bit machinr but same error.
please Give me some Ideas.
Any Help will be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards

this happened to me a few weeks ago. i had to manually edit the .vcproj files. open them up in an XML editor, then go through each configuration node (Release Win32, Release x64, etc) and make sure there are no MachineType attributes on any of the sub-nodes which don't match the configuration type.

sorry, i don't know of a way to automate the process, or to do it through the UI.
i suppose you could write an XSL transform to do this. i've written many simple XSLTs to manipulate vcproj files (to strip out unused configurations and to change paths, etc.). but this task is just a little bit beyond what i know how to do.

hello everybody,
Is there any way to get the notification of changes in taskbar.
E.g:
Any new window started to display in taskbar?
Any existing window closed in taskbar?
Any windows in taskbar is flashing in taskbar?
I need to get such notifications.
Help me please!

I personally don't know any specific way to do that, but if no such turns up you could try hooking into explorer.exe and find and subclass the tray somehow, using spy++ it seems that the taskbar is actually a toolbar, so you should be able to "capture" messages sent to it when new buttons are added or buttons are removed. Another aproach would be to install a global message hook and filter out messages targeted at the taskbar and do what you need with them (relay the events to your application or so...). I hope if nothing better appears then this can give you a starting point to do it...good luck.

I want to capture messages (WM_PAINT) to task bar in my application.
Please provide any help.

hai thanks for the reply.
Actually I want to filter WM_PAINT message of Taskbar as you mentioned in your first reply.
When WM_PAINT message is executed in taksbar, I want to get that message in my application.
May be subclassing may help to do it. Let me check that.

I hope someone has seen this tutorial ?
This is from the quiz at the end of the first chapter.
question 13)
The moon’s gravity is about 17 percent that of Earth’s. Write a program that displays a table that shows Earth pounds and their equivalent moon weight. Have the table run from 1 to 100 pounds. Output a newline every 25 pounds.
I think I'm close , here's what I have so far.
// This project the For Loop, the If statement, and code blocks
//to display a program that converts Metrics into Feet
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int temp;
double e; // holds the wieght on earth
double m; // holds the conversion to moon wieght
int counter;
int d;
counter = 0; // counter is initially set at 0
for(d= 1.0; e <= 100; e++) {
m = e / 17.; // convert to meters
cout << e << "earth is" << m << " moon.\n";
cin >> temp;
counter++; //encrement the counter with each loop iteration
// every tenth line, print a blank line
if ( counter == 100 ) {
cout << " \n "; // output a blank line
counter = 0; // reset the counter
}
}
cin >> temp;
return 0;
}

Probably this should be
for(e= 1.0; e <= 100; e++)
painterdave wrote: // every tenth line, print a blank line
if ( counter == 100 ) {
cout << " \n "; // output a blank line
}
Shouldn't that be:
if (counter==25)
{
cout << endl;
counter=0;
}
else
{
counter++
}

I am just starting on this journey, so
any help is apreciated, it's always good to get another point of view.
What makes it even more difficult is when the text that you are using , is a little bit off, or out of date or somehtings missing. I mean when you do it the way they tell you to do it , and it doesn't work ?, I thought it was me , but a friend of mine who is a programmer, had to give it a couple of fixes.
