.net - DeskBand Objects (Taskbar toolbar) in VB.net -


i'm looking figuring out how add deskband toolbar taskbar, similar google desktop search toolbar. needs have search textbox, button, , way display results.
want add existing application, when application minimized it'll turn toolbar program functions available time.

this means have few things figure out:

  1. we have windows xp machines, hope upgrade windows 7 on next year. in light of this, should keep researching deskbands, or should try figure out thumbnail toolbars?

  2. i've seen link http://www.codeproject.com/kb/shell/dotnetbandobjects.aspx 1 way in c#, might able translate vb.net. found http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378460%28vs.85%29.aspx#deskbands kind of tells how things. there better way accomplish this?

  3. should skip of , have small windows form opens icon in system tray?

sorry if isn't clear, don't know enough these know right questions ask.

deskbands still viable. keep in mind since they're implemented dll, you'll need 64-bit version 64-bit windows. while 64-bit computers ship 32-bit ie enabled default, there 1 option windows explorer - it'll 64-bit. machines these days shipping 64. while 99% of apps out there not need 64-bit right now, including plug-ins , toolbands ie, you're out of luck deskbands need in taskbar. dll loaded windows explorer (64) has 64-bit. , applies 90% of new desktops , laptops.
