Today at Developer Academy I gave a demonstration session called Capture the Windows 7 User Experience with Windows Presentation Foundation 4.
In the demo I showed how to integrate the following Windows 7 taskbar features into Windows applications using WPF 4:
- Specifying the area of the application visible in the Thumbnail Preview
- Controlling the Progress Bar overlay in the Task Bar
- Adding Taskbar Buttons to an application on the Task Bar
- Adding Icon Overlays
- Adding Jump List items to the context menu of an application on the Task Bar
You will be able to hear the recording of all Developer Academy sessions shortly, m meanwhile, here is the source code of the demo.
