Does Windows 11 have an API or other method to programmably add/remove icons from the taskbar?
The ITaskbarList interface has AddTab() and DeleteTab() methods.

I'm looking for an idea of how to develop a simple Windows application which will show an image (overlayed and always on top). An image should be clickable.
Similar to gadgets in Windows 7.
How to do it? Tnx.
To make the window overlay, use SetLayeredWindowAttributes
and to make it top most set the WS_EX_TOPMOST extended style at creation
Windows 10 version 1803 adds translucency to some UWP apps, including title bars.
Is there API to get use this translucent title bar in Win32 apps?
(I know about owner drawn frames, that's not what I'm asking for. But I am totally open to nasty hacks involving Windows Runtime APIs.)
Is there any way to include font icons instead of in the Application bar of windows phone 8 silverlight app. This is to reduce the space to store images required for ApplicationBar.
Nope, sorry. You can use icon fonts for the AppBar in WP 8.1 XAML apps, but not 8.x SL apps.
Having said that, images are not going to affect the space all that much, esp if you use the icons from modernuiicons.com.
HTH
You can't use fonts directly, but Syncfusion have a free tool called Metro Studio that will allow you to easily generate AppBar icons from fonts.
Hello everyone i am trying to build a horizontal slide menu for a windows mobile 7 app. Any idea how to do that?
That sliding menu is called Navigation Drawer and is a standard UI element for Android OS. It is not recommended on Windows Phone. However, you can mimic it using an offscreen UserControl or Panel.
Take a look at the following blog post: A behavior to implement a scroll-into-view panel (for a Facebook-like GUI) on Windows Phone.
I am trying to implement my own ribbon UI in native c++. How is this implemented on windows XP ?? Unfortunately I cannot use any of the available frameworks.
I have been able to get my app working on windows 7 following the sample shown at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb688195(v=VS.85).aspx
My app has buttons in the titlebar area on the top left corner and tabs integrated with glass/window background.This works for vista and 7 but not on XP. Is it possible to implement this on XP ??
Office 2010 seems to still have the same look sans the glass effect when i turn off the Aero theme on win7. How would i get this to happen in my app??
Thanks,
Abhinay
It is not possible to implement ribbon UI yourself on Windows XP since Windows XP does not contain an API for that purpose. Apart from that the ribbon UI internally uses the undocumented NetUI (the class name of the ribbon window is NetUIHWND).
