Hi,
I want to make my program works as : from my window app, I hold down and move my mouse cursor over the taskbar, if I keep the cursor more than a specific time, the program will activate the button icon on the task bar and show out that window. The problem here is I don't know the handle of the window on that button. I have tried to send the WM_LBUTTONDOWN to the position of that button, but nothing happen ( the button shown the tooltip and the pushed state ) but the window is still not activated.
Could you show me the solution for this problem ? I also know that using MS Active Accessibility can solve the problem but I think that if I can find another way easier :) !

thanks,

Thang.
 
The only thing I know about taskbar, it is a first instance of Windows explorer. When you in NT/2000 kill explorer process, your taskbar is gone. ( You can launch it back using taskmanager :)
