Hide the taskbar

Kaiser · Aug 1st 2011

Hello,

Is it possible to hide the taskbar after reboot/autostart an application?
I have deactivated the option "Always on top".
But when I restart the board, my application is started and shown on the whole screen. Unfortunately the taskbar is in the froeground. Only after opening a window of my application the taskbar will be hidden behind my application. When I finish my application and start it again without reboot, this problem disappeared. Is there a function or something else to hide the taskbar?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Kaiser

Hello,

you can do that from your application with:

Code:

/* DISABLE TASKBAR */
CWnd* hTaskBarWnd = FindWindow(_T("HHTaskBar"), _T(""));
hTaskBarWnd->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
hTaskBarWnd->EnableWindow(FALSE);

You can do that for the registry by the control panel and >>reg save<<.

DKuhne.

Thanks a lot - works fine.
The kiosk mode is too much for me - hide/show is perfect.
