Processing Appbar Notification Messages
An appbar receives a notification message when the state of the task bar
changes, when a full screen application starts (or the last one closes), or when an
event occurs that can affect the appbar's size and position. The following
example shows how to process the various notification messages.
// AppBarCallback - processes notification messages sent by the system.
// hwndAccessBar - handle of the appbar
// uNotifyMsg - identifier of the notification message
// lParam - message parameter
- oid AppBarCallback(HWND hwndAccessBar, UINT uNotifyMsg,
LPARAM lParam)
{
APPBARDATA abd;
UINT uState;
abd.cbSize = sizeof(abd);
abd.hWnd = hwndAccessBar;
switch (uNotifyMsg) {
case ABN_STATECHANGE:
// Check to see if the taskbar's always-on-top state has
// changed and, if it has, change the appbar's state
// accordingly.
uState = SHAppBarMessage(ABM_GETSTATE, &abd);
SetWindowPos(hwndAccessBar,
(ABS_ALWAYSONTOP & uState) ? HWND_TOPMOST : HWND_BOTTOM,
0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOACTIVATE);
break;
case ABN_FULLSCREENAPP:
// A full screen application has started, or the last full
// screen application has closed. Set the appbar's
// Z order appropriately.
if (lParam) {
SetWindowPos(hwndAccessBar,
(ABS_ALWAYSONTOP & uState) ?
HWND_TOPMOST : HWND_BOTTOM,
0, 0, 0, 0,
SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOACTIVATE);
} else {
uState = SHAppBarMessage(ABM_GETSTATE, &abd);
if (uState & ABS_ALWAYSONTOP)
SetWindowPos(hwndAccessBar, HWND_TOPMOST,
0, 0, 0, 0,
SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOACTIVATE);
}
case ABN_POSCHANGED:
// The taskbar or another appbar has changed its
// size or position.
AppBarPosChanged(&abd);
break;
}
}
The following function adjusts an appbar's bounding rectangle and then calls
the application-defined AppBarQuerySetPos function (included in the previous
section) to set the bar's size and position accordingly.
// AppBarPosChanged - adjusts the appbar's size and position.
// pabd - address of an APPBARDATA structure that contains information
// used to adjust the size and position
- oid PASCAL AppBarPosChanged(PAPPBARDATA pabd)
{
RECT rc;
RECT rcWindow;
int iHeight;
int iWidth;
rc.top = 0;
rc.left = 0;
rc.right = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
rc.bottom = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);
GetWindowRect(pabd->hWnd, &rcWindow);
iHeight = rcWindow.bottom - rcWindow.top;
iWidth = rcWindow.right - rcWindow.left;
switch (g_uSide) {
case ABE_TOP:
rc.bottom = rc.top + iHeight;
break;
case ABE_BOTTOM:
rc.top = rc.bottom - iHeight;
break;
case ABE_LEFT:
rc.right = rc.left + iWidth;
break;
case ABE_RIGHT:
rc.left = rc.right - iWidth;
break;
}
AppBarQuerySetPos(g_uSide, &rc, pabd);
}

Nostalgia .Net |

.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
