I would like to create a sidebar type application that sits on the right side of the client area. This application will always be executing, and I want it to always be visible. Is there any way of controlling _other_ windows so that the won't maximise or be resized over/under that application? Optimally I would like another window to maximize to the full screen _except_ for the right X pixels where my sidebar application is residing. Always on top will fix the "always visible" parameter, but using this other windows will be hidden behind it.. Preferrably I would like to set a registry value or such setting max size, but the next best case is to do this programmatically in my app. Would really appreciate an answer! Best regards // T

Yes, this is how I do it now.. I don't feel that this is the correct way of doing it though. I would imagine that you could hook on IE or trap a windows message to do this instead. I've tried searching for it on the net and haven't found anything :-( Hopesfully someone will have a solution :-)

I want my application to trigger on external application start/close events but haven't been able to figure out how to do this. For example. I would like my application to execute a certain task every time Internet Explorer is executed on the system. I would greatly appreciate if someone had a solution to this! Thanks! // T

We have a third party application that handles some SQL management (SQL Server 2000). We do not have the source code or any documentation on how this application works. In this third-party application, a user has to log on with some credentials and the application checks with a database if the username and password is correct. I don't know if this is possible, but what I would like to do, is to create an application that executes a certain list of commands on the database whenever someone tries to log on within the third-party application. Since I don't have the sourcecode to the third-party application I have to write another one that executes parallell to this one. My question is if it's possible for my application to know that the third-party application is executing a certain Stored-Procedure or a command. Are there any events/messages that I could catch? Any ideas would be appreciated ... Thanks // T
