Windows 7 Taskbar progress

Question

Quick question, I've developed a Forum specific C# WPF WebBrowser, for Windows 7.

I have completed so far for the Taskbar:

Tabbed thumbnails

Jumplists

Icon Overlay

Now as the WebBrowser uses the IE engine when a download is started the progress dialog is displayed, what i want is for the progress to be reflected in the Taskbar Button of my application.

Is this acheivable? Thanks

Answer 1

I believe this is something that Scott Hanselman covered in one of his weekly source code blogs.

Not sure if that was what you were looking for or not.

Answer 2

I know how to put it in the Taskbar, i just need to catch the download progress so i can show the progress in the taskbar. Heres a snippet of how i get it to show navigation, the file copy is displayed without the need for code, shell is picking that up automatically.

  #region Background Worker

    void backgroundWorker1_ProgressChanged(object sender, ProgressChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        this.TaskbarItemInfo.ProgressValue = (double)e.ProgressPercentage / 100;

    }

    void backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Cancelled == true)
        {
            this.TaskbarItemInfo.ProgressState = TaskbarItemProgressState.Paused;
        }
        else if (e.Error != null)
        {
            this.TaskbarItemInfo.ProgressState = TaskbarItemProgressState.Error;
        }
        else
        {
            this.TaskbarItemInfo.ProgressState = TaskbarItemProgressState.None;
        }
    }

    void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
    {
        for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
        {
            Thread.Sleep(100);

            this.backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(i,i.ToString());
        }
            }
        }
    }

    #endregion

All thats needed for the Navigation is:

 private void Browser_Navigated(object sender, WebBrowserNavigatedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (backgroundWorker1.IsBusy == false)
        {
            backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync();

            TaskbarItemInfo.ProgressState = TaskbarItemProgressState.Normal;
        }

        if (tabControl1.TabPages.Count > 10 && tabControl1.SelectedTab != null)
            UpdatePreviewBitmap(tabControl1.SelectedTab);

And taken from the Window Load Event:

        this.backgroundWorker1.WorkerReportsProgress = true;
        this.backgroundWorker1.WorkerSupportsCancellation = true;
        this.backgroundWorker1.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(backgroundWorker1_DoWork);
        this.backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerCompleted += new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted);
        this.backgroundWorker1.ProgressChanged += new ProgressChangedEventHandler(backgroundWorker1_ProgressChanged);

        //
        TabbedThumbnail preview = new TabbedThumbnail(this.Handle, tabPage.Handle);
        //
        preview.TabbedThumbnailActivated += new EventHandler<TabbedThumbnailEventArgs>(preview_TabbedThumbnailActivated);
        preview.TabbedThumbnailClosed += new EventHandler<TabbedThumbnailEventArgs>(preview_TabbedThumbnailClosed);
        preview.TabbedThumbnailMaximized += new EventHandler<TabbedThumbnailEventArgs>(preview_TabbedThumbnailMaximized);
        preview.TabbedThumbnailMinimized += new EventHandler<TabbedThumbnailEventArgs>(preview_TabbedThumbnailMinimized);
        //
        TaskbarManager.Instance.TabbedThumbnail.AddThumbnailPreview(preview);
        //
        tabControl1.SelectedTab = tabPage;
        TaskbarManager.Instance.TabbedThumbnail.SetActiveTab(tabControl1.SelectedTab);
        //

        scrollEventAdded = false;

Hope this makes sense. Thanks
