Assuming you are referring to the 'autohide' feature of the Windows taskbar, you could simulate that through the .MouseMove() event of a control/form, using the nXCoord and nYCoord values to trigger the appearance, movement and dissapearance of controls on a form.

In the .MouseMove() event of the form/control, you can monitor the position of the cursor with :-

THISFORM.text1.Value = TRANS(nXCoord)+[,]+TRANS(nYCoord)

You can then calculate where you want to 'trigger' the control's appearance, movement and disappearance with :-

IF nXCoord > 123 AND nYCoord > 456
[tab]* code to show control
ELSE
[tab]* code to hide control
ENDI

To move the control smoothly, use a timer, not a DO WHILE... loop
