Hello,

I use the System.DesktopWidth and System.DesktopHeight values to define the main window. But how is it possible to have the height of the system taskbar?

Hello,

It is possible with the following C-function:

Code: Select all

HB_FUNC ( GETTASKBARHEIGHT )

{
	HWND hTaskBar;
	RECT rc;
	int  nHeight;

	hTaskBar = FindWindow( "Shell_TrayWnd", NULL );

	GetWindowRect(hTaskBar, &rc);

	nHeight = rc.bottom - rc.top;

	hb_retni( nHeight );
}

Usage:

nTaskBarHeight := GetTaskBarHeight()

I hope that helps

I do the same as Chris on my main window setup, and too had wondered about the taskbar.

Thanks for this information.
