window on top and hiding notifications

[sjorrel]

I'm making a screensaver and its largely done however there are a couple of niggles.

1. How can I prevent a taskbar icon from being created? Its not a major problem but it would be more 'screensavery' if the taskbar icon didn't appear at all.

2. Even though I've used $WS_EX_TOPMOST for the GUI notifications from other software (particularly traytips) still pop up and are visible when it is running. Any way of stopping that?

Thanks

1. #NoTrayIcon should make your systemtray icon not appear.

2. Hide the taskbar.

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 4)
BlockInput(1)
Sleep(2000)
WinSetState('Classname=Shell_TrayWnd', '', @SW_HIDE)
BlockInput(0)
; Running screensaver
Sleep(10000)
WinSetState('Classname=Shell_TrayWnd', '', @SW_SHOW)
