Form_TaskBar v0.5
-----------------

Form_Taskbar is a control for Visual Basic which, once placed onto a form,
makes the form act like the Taskbar (minus the Start Menu).

I coded this within a couple hours tonight (7/11/1999).  It works well for
its limited design goals, but it needs some features expanded.  Source code
is included.


Properties
	HangDown	The number of pixels that will hang down into the
			screen when the taskbar is hidden.
	NumSteps	The number of steps drawn while moving the taskbar
			down.

	
Events
	AppGotFocus	Similar to Form.GotFocus, but also works when the
			application gets the focus.
	AppLostFocus	Similar to Form.LostFocus, but also works when the
			application loses focus.
	MouseOver	The mouse was moved over the taskbar.
	MouseLeft	The mouse left the taskbar window.
	StartOpenUp	The taskbar started to open up.
	StartCloseUp	The taskbar started to close up.
	ChangeOpenUp	The taskbar was closing, but started to open.
	ChangeCloseUp	The taskbar was opening, but started to close.
	EndOpenUp	The taskbar is open all the way.
	EndCloseUp	The taskbar is closed all the way.


Source Code
	The control is distributed via source code.  The license is GPL.
	(see www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html)  If you make any significant
	changes, please let me know and I'll distribute them with this.
	Or if you're just using it for something amazingly cool, I'd be
	interested to know about that too.  :)


Limitations/Problems
	- Taskbar can only be placed at the center top of the screen.
	- "Runs" while in the IDE.
	- Opening and closing are somewhat slow (especially compared to start
		menu).
	- The whole thing has too many hacks involving timers.
