umm sorry but it dont really look i am using this code
here to start the app that you click on in the bar

Code: Select all

    Private Sub lwDesktop_ItemSelectionChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItemSelectionChangedEventArgs) Handles lwDesktop.ItemSelectionChanged
        fileName = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop + "\" + e.Item.Text
    End Sub
    Private Sub lwDesktop_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lwDesktop.DoubleClick
        Process.Start(fileName)
    End Sub
    Dim fileName As String = ""
    Dim folderLocation As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop

then i am using this to get the apps and icons into the bar

Code: Select all

 For Each I In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop)
            Dim Desktop_Icon_add As System.Drawing.Icon = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(I)
            DesktopImages.Images.Add(Desktop_Icon_add.ToBitmap)
            I = I.Replace(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop & "\", "")
            lwDesktop.Items.Add(I, DesktopImages.Images.Count - 1)
        Next

soo really all i need to know is on the drag drop even how can i make it create a shortcut in desktop and then i will be done i can run and do the rest by my self but that tut allthough it works would mean changing the above code and doing this would make some fetures of the program not work because this is a little moer then just an app bar and this is the last thing to be before release soo
