You'll need the Vista bridge library and the Windows 7 Desktop integration, you can get them from the Microsoft website. Then you can use the API in your program.

You dont, I'm currently working on a mini Windows7 taskbar API for both jumplists and the symbol stuff (progress in icon, preview, ...)

Jumplists are pretty complicated and messy (you need about 8 interfaces, dozens of structs, etc)

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd942846.aspx provides some information but there's not a single page with all info collected.

This site also covers progress in the icon.

Hope this helps ya mate.

ZeroSkyX it really isn't that messy, I did it a couple of months back when I was first messing around with 7 RC..

I seem to recall needing to include two projects in my solution for the .dlls that i downloaded from the MS site (i forget the names/url though :()

there were some good videos about how to do this on channel9:

as an alternative i think VS 2010 Beta supports this natively in .NET 4.0, so you could give that a twirl? ;)
