Windows 7 Taskbar in 10 Minutes - Part IV: Preview and Peek | GLenz | Channel 9

This is the fourth, and last, part of my ScreenCast series on implementing the Windows 7 Taskbar features in less than 10 minutes (well, I ran little over this time, sorry). The short video shows how to leverage the Windows 7 Taskbar Preview and Window Peek for your application.

Part IV -- Preview and Window Peek: In the last part of the screencast series I show you how to develop an application that

  1. Allows you to show a clipped Taskbar Preview of your application, on a defined location of your application window.
  2. Dynamically changes the size of the preview image in the Taskbar.
  3. Change the preview image to show a custom Icon instead.
  4. Show a custom Window Peek Bitmap of your application when hovering with the mouse over the Taskbar Preview.

The source code is available here. You can download the managed wrappers for the Windows 7 API from the Vista Bridge web page.
