Remove Taskbar presence completely on parent shell [message #451555]

Hello!

FP.. so be kind ;)

I am trying to develop a completely Desktop application (somthing like a
SuperKaramba app) that sits on the desktop and does not have a window
boarder (easy -- SWT.MODELESS on the shell) and does NOT have a Taskbar
entry.

Is there a way to completely get rid of the taskbar presence on a parent
shell? I know that children shells on the parent do not have a taskbar
presence.. but how can I do this on the parent?

Thanks for any help for this noob.

Here's a second response <g>...

Creating the shell with style SWT.ON_TOP should keep it out of the task bar,
and since it will no longer be managed by the window manager, it will also
not have the typical window trimmings.
