How To Show Text In TaskBar Of Win7(or newer)?

qazaq408

The better are text and picture like this.

i search in Qt Assistant for long time ,but can't find a class that can realize this.there is a class that can set taskbar of win7(or win10),but thfunction of QWinTaskbarButton is too far to my requirement..

That's an IME tool bar.
I don't think you can do that.

@Bonnie
it's just a example. There does exist a EXE that can set taskbar of win7.i want to know that Qt can do this or not.

@qazaq408 I don't think there is anything in Qt for this (you can implement task button in Qt, but this is not what you want if I understand you correctly). I think you will need to use Windows APIs for that.

Hi
Just as a note.
In WinExtra it shows "task bar button overlays"
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwinextras-musicplayer-example.html

which looks like that?

alt text

( sample running on win 10)

Im not 100% sure that is what poster wants, but it does show song title and
color it to show volume.

I think what the OP want is Desk Bands of Windows Shell, which is managed as toolbars on the taskbar.
Purely windows, not available in Qt.
It is a quite old feature and is actually recommended to be replaced by thumbnail toolbars.
