Overview
Version 4.71 (IE4) and later of the Windows Shell supports manipulation of the
taskbar buttons through a COM object that implements the ITaskbarList
interface. You can add, delete and activate buttons. That's about it.
One nice thing about this, from a VB developers POV, is that you can easily add and remove a Form's button in the taskbar. Something that otherwise requires some API calls, since the ShowInTaskbar property is read only at runtime.
This sample includes a type library with a VB friendly definition of the interface, and a small sample application.
