How to make a window always stay on top in .Net?
Creating a .NET app that “docks” to the side of the screen and limits other windows' sizes when maximized

I have a C# Winforms application that runs similarly to the menu bar on a Mac. It’s only 24 pixels high, is the full width of the screen, located at the top and should be the top most application.

However, when I run other applications and maximize them, they go under my application and I cannot see the control bar (icon, name, minimize, maximize and close buttons) for them. What I would like is for other maximized applications to maximize to just under my application, so I can still see the other applications control bar.

Is there a way to prevent other applications from doing this, and getting them to maximize under my application?

Thanks,
Karl
