Hi everyone... I'm working on an application to help users manage work fragmentation using a new theory which purposes to "isolate" groups of applications from one another (among other things). I thought doing this by selectively hiding and showing each app-group in the task bar. I know it is possible to hide your own applications' window by setting some options in the TApplication object and sending some API messages, however I ask your help about sending messages to all other apps to hide themselves from the taskbar. Is this possible? Is this the best way to do it? I've also looked at the CreateDesktop/SwitchDesktop functions, how ever is not clear for me if you can actually create any number of desktops and indistinctly display selected applications on each desktop by spawning them form a central "application manager" and if you can redirect applications from one desktop to any other (so the app can be shared among desktops). Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions Re6@rd5. MortZ.
