Windows Forms Invoking Properties of the Taskbar

I am looking for information on the Windows TaskBar. It has the ability to hide and either float or dock to one of the edges of the screen and I would like to be able to create this same ability in my Windows Form. Ultimately I want to create a dockable application that can stick to the edge of the screen or hide when focus is lost. The application will allow you to drag in or add from a menu other small utility applications. The application really just serves as a container for all these small programs and a handy launching area.

Is there a specific API that gives these functions to the Windows TaskBar or are they given by some other method If anyone has information on this topic or knows of resources available your input would be greatly appreciated.

For the record I am developing my applications with C#.

Thanx

This is what you want:

Its a Microsoft sample Desktop toolbar that docks etc. However, I think its in C# so, you'll need to convert it.

I hope this helps.
