[class][v1/v2] taskbar ornaments and controls
Posted: 02 Aug 2017, 09:01
Introduction
This class implements some of the taskbar extensions discussed here (msdn).
For a full introduction and documentation, please visit the github wiki.
There are two versions available, one for (recent) AHK v1.1 and one for AHK v2 (2.0-a081-cad307c). The version for v2 is cleverly named taskbarInterface_v2.ahk
Graphical preview - a selection
Button controls in the thumbnail preview window, the thumbnail preview is clipped to only show a listbox of the gui.
Progress bar and icon overlay.
Download
Source and self-contained examples are available at github. Direct download: v1.02_with_examples.rar.
Mini tutorial
To highlight the ease of use. I give a mini tutorial.
Part 1 - show an icon overlay.
Part 2 - show a progress bar behind the taskbar icon.
Part 3 - Add two buttons to the thumbnail preview.
Please try out wolf_II's nice app Anagrams (v2.13+), for a real use example of this class.
Misc
Feel free to use this in whichever modified or non-modified state you wish, for any peaceful purpose. No credits or references needed.
Have fun and good luck
