Can I use WinList() to only get applications in the taskbar?

[Vadersapien]

I've been trying to get WinList() to get all the open windows and Minimize/Maximize/Hide them...problem is, it picks up everything like the "Program Manager" and my sidebar gadgets, but I only want Minimize/Maximize/Hide windows that are in the taskbar. How can I do this?

Use WinGetState & other WinGet... funcs to postprocess the list obtained with WinList

you might also want to take a look at GaryFrost's Taskbar Fun and see if you can press (parts of) that into service for your purposes.

That code works well...but rocketdock and the sidebar (and gadgets) minimize themselves (partly) and mess up...any way to fix this?
