Hello,

The new Desktop functions in Blitz 1.39 are wonderfully useful and easy to use...

Do someone know a (simple) way to also get the height of the Windows taskbar (and/or cherry on the cake of the MacOS menu bar)?

Thanks in advance,
Pierre

Windows taskbar width+height:

SuperStrict

Const ABM_GETTASKBARPOS:Int = $5

Type APPBARDATA
	Field cbSize:Int
	Field hwnd:Int
	Field uCallbackMessage:Int
	Field uEdge:Int
	
	Field _left:Int 'RECT
	Field _top:Int
	Field _right:Int
	Field _bottom:Int

	Field lParam:Int
End Type

Extern "win32"
	Function SHAppBarMessage:Int(dwMessage:Int , pData:Byte Ptr)
End Extern

Local a:APPBARDATA=New APPBARDATA

SHAppBarMessage(ABM_GETTASKBARPOS , a)

Print "Width: " + (a._right - a._left)
Print "Height: " + (a._bottom - a._top)

Blitzmax itself is great, but the Blitzmax community is at least as great!
Thank you!!

And, by the way, is it also possible to get the height of the windows titlebars? (thank you)
