You can just use WinSetState with the @SW_HIDE.

[edit] Working example:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
WinSetState("classname=Shell_TrayWnd", "", @SW_HIDE)
Sleep(1000)
WinSetState("classname=Shell_TrayWnd", "", @SW_SHOW)

Oh kk thanks just didnt have the Opt ....

But how can create a gui that is "over" the taskbar?

with @desktopwidht and height it doesnt work :..

[jvanegmond 297]

Do this for height and width:

GUICreate("", @DesktopWidth*2,@DesktopHeight*2,0,0)

Makes sure this fills your screen. You can also just add up 20 or so, works just as well.

[edit] i think taskbar is 21 pixels high ^^ lol

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
WinSetState("classname=Shell_TrayWnd", "", @SW_HIDE)

GUICreate("", @DesktopWidth*2,@DesktopHeight*2,0,0,$WS_POPUP)
GUISetBkColor(0)

GUISetState()

Sleep(2000)

GUIDelete()
WinSetState("classname=Shell_TrayWnd", "", @SW_SHOW)

Edit: Good luck blocking Alt+Tab and Start ^^

On my computer it covers the taskbar no problem, don't know why you have to hide it

Hm yes thanks for telling us

[jvanegmond 297]

The following seems to do exactly the same as your code.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("", @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP)
GUISetBkColor(0)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Sleep(2000)

GUIDelete()

It also does on mine
