Appbar Example

This example shows how to make an appbar, like the taskbar, that attaches to the side of the screen. It is only configured to attach to the top, but with a bit of thinking you could attach it to all sides.
I was being lazy and did not subclass (couldn't for VB4 anyway) the form to get the messages, I just used the mousemove event - thus I have to overlay the form with a picturebox to get actual mouse moves (useful mainly when "Hidden" for detecting the mouse over it and then re-showing it.
The bAnimate and bAutohide should be fairly self-explanatory.
Good luck.
Also, if you use this in a commercial app, please mention my name in the about box or in the credits or something. I'm not after money, just fame and glory! ;-)
