Posted: Aug 10, 2002 @ 9:14pmIf you could figure out how to take controll of the buttons in the top row of a 720, that would be awsume. I played around with that for a little bit, but couldn't get it to work.

The other two methods (the one I suggested and the one with disabling the window) are both unnacceptable: if the game crash or exit without proper cleanup, the taskbar is not usable anymore.
With WS_EX_TOPMOST, the game can crash all it wants and the taskbar still works.
I will investigate hooking the special keys... Thanks for all the feedback!
