sorry for double post, ok.. it seems to read 4 byte numbers ok (not doubles) but when it goes over 255/256 (dont know wich) it rolls over to 100 o 0100 !! so i dont know what this is doing.. but is it just chucking it out in a different format? Thanks, Terence

What you want to do is "dock" your window to the side of the desktop. I don't think .NET can do this. You'll need to P/Invoke the SHAppBarMessage() win32 function. The following CodeProject article should contain all of the details you need. http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/csdoesshell3.asp[^]

Thanks you very much! :)
