    drawing on taskbar?

    Does anyone know how to draw on the taskbar? IBM has a battery app that runs
    outside of the systray (just to the left of it) and does not show up as a
    toolbar either in the taskbar, and I was wondering how you go about doing
    something like that.. thanks!

      Hi,

      I think you are looking for the NotifyIcon control.

          no, as I have stated it is outside the system tray (the system tray is where
          the notify icons are)... something similar to how the quick launch is on the
          taskbar
