Autohide taskbar solution

[Champak]

VarSetCapacity(APPBARDATA, A_PtrSize=4 ? 36:48)Space::   NumPut(DllCall("Shell32\SHAppBarMessage", "UInt", 4 ; ABM_GETSTATE                                           , "Ptr", &APPBARDATA                                           , "Int") ? 2:1, APPBARDATA, A_PtrSize=4 ? 32:40) ; 2 - ABS_ALWAYSONTOP, 1 - ABS_AUTOHIDE , DllCall("Shell32\SHAppBarMessage", "UInt", 10 ; ABM_SETSTATE                                    , "Ptr", &APPBARDATA)   KeyWait, % A_ThisHotkey   Return

This is a code from autohotkey that will autohide the taskbar and give you the taskbar space to use for your app. Can someone show me how to translate it please who has experience with this app? And then put it back to always show.

dont know what that does, but i use winsetstate. 

WinSetState("[CLASS:Shell_TrayWnd]", "", @SW_HIDE)

tooltip("taskbar is hidden for 5 seconds" , 0 , 0)

sleep (5000)

WinSetState("[CLASS:Shell_TrayWnd]", "", @SW_SHOW)

exit

Thanks, but I came across that before, when I use that and open a dialog from my GUI its like the taskbar is there but invisible because my dialog won't occupy the space where the taskbar is usually filling. I don't know if the thing I want translated will fix the problem, but its the only thing left to try.

gui has a height of 21 and a y of (@desktopheight - 21) to occupy the space taskbar leaves
