BatteryBar & Language Bar

[Chris]

It's not the language bar that's the problem, it's the way the toolbar APIs are implemented. As a toolbar, my application has no control over it's placement on the taskbar. The only thing I can do is report my preferred and minimum size to explorer.exe. The only thing I can do, that I know of, is to turn on the gripper that allows the user to manually change the toolbar's position. I have it off now to limit the space needed for the toolbar.

Now there may be other ways of implementing BatteryBar without using the IDeskBand interface in Windows, I believe some other programs do something different, but I don't know how they do it or what APIs they use. If I knew of another way of doing it, I certainly would.
