Setting the Taskbar to autohide on program start

[computergroove]

Can I set the taskbar to autohide on the start of my script? Can I make my gui window overtake the taskbar? Can I set GUICreate to autoread the screen resolution and make a window that big?

Maybe there is a better way to get the tite bar height of the window I haven't looked in to it.

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)

_TaskBar("Hide")
$TitleBarHeight = 34
GUICreate("Test",@DesktopWidth,@DesktopHeight-$TitleBarHeight,0,0)
GUISetState()
Sleep(2000)
_TaskBar("Show")


Func _TaskBar($vType)
Local $Handle
    $handle = WinGetHandle("classname=Shell_TrayWnd")
    If $vType = "Hide" then 
        WinSetState ( $handle, "", @sw_hide )
    Else
        WinSetState ( $handle, "", @sw_Show )
    EndIf

EndFunc

I used GUICreate("Video Player",1000,700,0,0,$WS_MAXIMIZE,$WS_EX_TOPMOST) and it maximized the window and set it on top of everything.
