 |
|
Is there any way using VDS (with or without a DLL) that the desktop screen area can be clipped? By clipped, I mean the same what the windows task bar (when ontop and not autohide) clips the screen so when a window is maximized the task bar stays in view. Know what I mean? 
Thanks,

I've been wanting to know this one for a long time also. Tried figuring it
out, but haven't had any luck over the last few years.

If the taskbar is showing, ya should be able to search for
either the taskbar or the systray. These examples check
for "tray" in the @winatpoint() window class name.
These search top to bottom - the top example trips on the
first title containing "tray", the second trips on the last one
(which might not be so good if the user has the taskbar at
the top of the screen).
If ya know the actual class names of different OS taskbars
or systrays, ya could put those in a list and check %%target
against them with the FIRST example.
If the taskbar is NOT showing (or is partially covered) you'll
wind up with the same size as the current app. But at least
you won't be the only one... 
Maybe it'll give ya some ideas...

%%systray_top = %y
%%oldtarget = %%target
end
