In WMP, I have been shown buttons on the taskbar thumbnail. How can I make them for my winforms app in C#?
The WindowsAPICodePack contains a control called ThumbnailToolBarButton
that you can use to get this functionality going.
You'll need to make sure you have icons for each of the buttons (as I don't believe you can put text on them), and then it should be a simple matter of creating new controls and adding relevant event handlers.
Sourced from here.
XAML
<Window.TaskbarItemInfo>
<TaskbarItemInfo>
<TaskbarItemInfo.ThumbButtonInfos>
<ThumbButtonInfo ImageSource="/IconProgressDemo;component/Icon1.ico" Description="Play!" Click="ThumbButtonInfo_Click" />
<ThumbButtonInfo ImageSource="/IconProgressDemo;component/Icon2.ico" Description="Stop!" Click="ThumbButtonInfo_Click" />
</TaskbarItemInfo.ThumbButtonInfos>
</TaskbarItemInfo>
</Window.TaskbarItemInfo>
C#
private void ThumbButtonInfo_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show((sender as System.Windows.Shell.ThumbButtonInfo).Description);
}
I haven't tried this hope this will be helpful.
