It's called the TaskBar. Its window class is HHTaskBar. You can just send a message to it to get its size.<br><br>Here's how I display the Start Menu. I simply send a message to the TaskBar as if the user clicked at coords 2,2:<br>[fixed]<br>HWND wnd=::FindWindow(_T( "HHTaskBar" ), NULL);<br>if (wnd) <br>  SendMessage(wnd, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 1, MAKELPARAM(2,2));<br>[/fixed]<br>That works for me!<br><br>Dan East

The top one is the Task Bar, the bottom is the Status Bar. And he saw that it was good, so it was.<br>Both are 16 pixels, aren't they?

Thanks Dan, though I figured it out before I read your post.  I just wrote a quick spy app to tell me what they were.<br><br><br>Now, on to bigger and badder things.  I have the window, but do I want to subclass it and draw over it or just hide it?  Hmmmmm.......
