Yeah, I had issues going from WF to WPF at first... but now I don't want to go back.

I can probably help you, let me know what you are trying to do with the picturebox or Image in WPF.

You can use WindowsFormsHost to host WF controls, but I've had display issues with it. It's sort of a wrapper.

I have uploaded the latest version with the changes I mentioned in my previous post.

The new syntax for showPopupNotification is:
C#: ojbHost.showPopupNotification(string header, string mainMessage, string moduleText, PlugInInterface.Declarations.alertType alertType)
VB: ojbHost.showPopupNotification(ByVal header As String, ByVal mainMessage As String, ByVal moduleText As String, Optional ByVal alertType As alertType)

The alertType is an enumeration in PlugInInterface.Declarations.

I have uploaded a new version (http://www.nordicfx.com/topbar/)

• New shutdown plugin (the old shutdown icon is gone)
• Fixed column width in the plugin manager
• You can choose basic alignment of the plugins, this feature will evolve and get more intuitive ... I just wanted to get it usable for the moment

Here's an empty plugin to play with (both C# and VB): http://www.nordicfx.com/downloads/topbar/TopbarPlugin.zip
It needs the plugininterface.dll as a reference.
Keep other 3rd party dependencies together with the plugin.
The plugin file should have the file extension .top
Maximum height of the plugin should not exceed 18 pixels.
There is a property called auxVar which is for future uses.

To show a notification in the host use:
C#: ojbHost.showPopupNotification(string header, string mainMessage, string moduleText)
VB: ojbHost.showPopupNotification(ByVal header As String, ByVal mainMessage As String, ByVal moduleText As String)


I would love to see what you guys can come up with. Keep in mind that the plugin structure might change during version updates, but I will let you know beforehand.
