I'm wondering does anyone know what control or what to do to get a toolbar much like the application that google wrote for their desktop search toolbar? Basically I have a web based application, but I need to write a client based application that sits locally on a machine and does something. But the issue is I need to be able to embed it directly in the start menu (as a toolbar). I tried playing with the toolbarstrip and the tabstrip and toolbar controls in vs.net but the issue is those sit directly in a windows based form. I would need the toolbar to be moveable and to be able to right click on the start menu and see that that toolbar is available.

Make sense ?

Can you send / post some screenshots of said google desktop search thing? I don't want to install that stuff on my desktop :)

Sure here is a screen shot, the google desktop is circled.

It simply sits on the windows start bar menu as a start bar menu toolbar. I want to create something similiar for an internal application. Not sure what this control is since the tab strip as well as the toolbar strip in vs.net attaches itself to a form.

I want to be able to hide / unhide this as well.

Here is the image:



Thanks,
Jon
