Application always on bottom

[Sean Dudley]

Hi, I would like my application to be always on the bottom (like the
desktop). I tried always setting it to the lowest ZOrder whenever there is
a ZOrder change but this doesn't seem like the best approach to me.

Sean,

Create an notify icon (like your messenger icon...) so your app is hidden.
With the right mouse button the user is able to show the app.

[DllImport("User32.dll")]
public static extern Int32 FindWindow(String lpClassName,String
lpWindowName);
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern int SetParent(int hWndChild, int hWndNewParent);

In constructor:

this.SendToBack();
int pWnd = FindWindow("Progman",null);
int tWnd = this.Handle.ToInt32();
SetParent(tWnd, pWnd);
