Plug Textbox to Taskbar (or Titlebar window) with C#

Question

I'm coding a application using C# to embed textbox to Taskbar as below picture:

(Taskbar) https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B-E8VK5m5ETqZTI2ZjBlODUtOGI0MC00ZDRhLThjNzItMmE2MTA5NjZlODE5&hl=en

(Title) https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B-E8VK5m5ETqZWE0NzM2MjktZTc5NS00MjdmLThkMmUtMTZjODA3MWUyZTRm&hl=en

-- I downloaded Window API code pack and view some example but I still don't know how to perform my scenario.

Anyone help me for a solution or article (I searched Google but didn't find any article).

Thanks a lot !

Answer 1

A simple Google search revealed the following links (there are more):

1: http://www.buttonsandbars.com/OnlineHelp/ICreate.Controls.Bars~ICreate.Controls.Bars.TaskBar.html

2: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/taskbar-controls-t3330966.html

3: http://www.buttonsandbars.com/OnlineHelp/ICreate.Controls.Bars~ICreate.Controls.Bars.TaskBarItem.html

The first URL demonstrates with full source, how to draw a hyperlink on the taskbar with an image from what I can see, so this may be worth investigating into further.

Good luck!
