This is called a Desk Band

There is an MSDN article explaining through the link.

There is also some previously written source code, originally on code project but now appears to have been taken down, there is a download link here

I cant garuntee anything on this source I have not downloaded it, its your call but will hopefully be of use.

Hope it helps 🙂
