Determine the heigth of the Menu Bar

[Home Bunny]

How can we find the height of the Menu Bar?

I wanna place a window exactly above the Menu bar like this:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$AppWith = 300
$AppHeigt = 500
$MainForm= GUICreate("MainForm",$AppWith , $AppHeigt, @DesktopWidth - $AppWith, @DesktopHeight - $AppHeigt )

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Unfortunatly the above screen doesn't take the height of the Menu bar in count.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thx.

$tray_pos = WinGetPos("classname=Shell_TrayWnd")
    $tray_height = $tray_pos[3]

You'll probably also want to account for if they've docked the taskbar on a different edge of the screen as well (left-side, top, right-side).

$tray_pos = WinGetPos("classname=Shell_TrayWnd")
    $tray_height = $tray_pos[3]

... Gives following error :

C:\temp\test2.au3 (2) : ==> Subscript used with non-Array variable.: 
$tray_height = $tray_pos[3] 
$tray_height = $tray_pos^ ERROR

Any ideas?
