So I mean like what the W95 > taskbar becomes after you've installed IE4 or W98. It is not very difficult. First You should get TrayBar handle: FindWindow( 'Shell_TrayWnd', '' ) And then You may do whatever You whant. For example create a button: AButtonWnd :=CreateWindow( 'button' , 'Caption' , WS_ChildWindow , 0 , 0 , 75 , 20 , FindWindow( 'Shell_TrayWnd', '' ) , 0 , hInstance , Nil ); ShowWindow( AButtonWnd, SW_SHOW ) If You don't whant to create controls by Yourself and let Delphi do it, use such a WinApi function for any Delphi-made control: function SetParent(WndChild: HWnd; WndNewParent: HWnd): HWnd; ( see coresponding Help ) And if You use Delphi 3.0 You can modify ParentWindow prperty of TWinControl-derived controls.
