Hi,

i would lik my application to nest itself on top of the desktop screenspace, thus resizing any other application beneath it.
How do i achieve this?

It is like the MS Taskbar at the bottom of the screen in Windows which marks the lowest line for a program to extend, only at the top of the screen and that it should be my application...

Thanks for any help,
Christophe Lesk3e

This sounds like a job for the window manager. Gnome on Linux would
do this... and it does if I open a few applications with small
windows, it will place them where there's enough room on the desktop.

That said, you can choose the position and size of your application
and move and resize each frame as you see fit. You can even find
other windows on the desktop and change their size and position using
platform-dependant calls. I don't think you'll find any support for
this in wxPython, but the win32all (on MS Windows) will be involved.
Keep in mind that if any other application started trying to do the
same thing, each application would resize each others windows, and it
would be a mess.

What platform are you on?

For use on Win32, see wxAppBar here:
