TaskBar icon
Hi,

I would like to add icons to the taskbar! I saw that somebody can do that but he did not say how. Can someone help me please?

Thanks.

you just have to put the shortcut on quicklauch folder
-------------------------------- from NSIS help
$QUICKLAUNCH

The quick launch folder for IE4 active desktop and above. If quick launch is not available, simply returns the same as $TEMP.
---------------------------------

here is the example (from nsis archive)

try to read the docs next time ;)

Well that is a good solution but I have a folder somewhere in my HDD that contains all the shortcuts I want to be in the taskbar. To add these shotcuts manualy I usually right click on the taskbar,choose toolbar and then new toolbar.Then I find the folder that contains my shortcuts. I do not want them to be part of the quicklaunch folder. I do not know if I'm clear enough.

If I use the quicklaunch, I will have to remove "show desktop","internet explorer" and so on....

Thanks to help anyway.

There's a plugin that allows you to do this.

The plugin is on the NSIS Archive.

Well the NotifyIcon plugin is interesting but that's not what I was looking for. All I want ( I try to make myself clear) is to create a new toolbar in the taskbar(not the system tray). This toolbar should not be in the QuickLaunch and should be from a folder that contains all the shortcuts needed.

For instance, I have a folder called "MasterBar" in C:\Temp, I want that to be in the taskbar. I hope this is clear this time.

Thanks for your help.

NotifyIcon is pretty good too but it does not answer my question.

Cheers guys.

I searched Google, MSDN, and other coding sites and I literally could not find any way to create a custom taskbar toolbar item (other than doing it manually).

Agree!

Create your own custom plugin for that :)

Right, thanks for all these answers.

It seems that the best way would be to create a plugin. Hum!!!
I really have NO idea how to do that. If someone could give me a simple example, that would be great.

Thanks again guys for sharing your knowledge.

alffla.
