How add a combobox into the taskbar?

[GioVit]

I'm working in a program launcher, and I like the idea to put a combo box in the taskbar like the program "Launch-n-go" do see this link http://www.tethyssolutions.com/lng-screenshots.htm.

Is it possible in AutoIt? please give me some ideas

thanks in advance

As far as I know, its not possible with autoit, you would have to write it in c++. Check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....l_adv/bands.asp it covers making a new item in the task bar, past that, you're on your own

With the latest betas, given some time someone could figure out how to do it.

1st get ANYGUIv2.6.au3

2nd I had to modify the _GuiTarget function to get it to work for me

From:

$hWnd = WinGetHandle($wintitle)
 If Not ($controlid = 0) Then $hWnd = ControlGetHandle($wintitle, $wintext, $controlid)

To:

If @NumParams = 4 Then 
        $hWnd = ControlGetHandle($wintitle, $wintext, $controlid)
    Else
        $hWnd = WinGetHandle($wintitle)
    EndIf

Example Script:

#include "ANYGUIv2.6.au3"

WinMinimizeAll()
$h_taskbar = _GuiTarget ("", 0, "Start", "ToolbarWindow322")
$a_info = _TargetaddCombo ("", 575, 0, 100, 120, -1, -1, $h_taskbar)
GUICtrlSetData($a_info[0], "test1|test2|test3", "test2")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $a_info[2])
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
WEnd
