Summary: Change adjusts size instead of location

Initial Comment:
When the user changes display resolution, adds or 
removes a tray icon, or changes the tray clock visibility, 
the DQSD bar adjusts its size to retain its Left position.

This behavior makes the user's life more difficult by 
requiring them to constantly adjust the toolbar to restore 
the width they prefer.

A better behavior would be for the toolbar to preserve its 
width (instead of its Left position) when the toolbar size 
or tray icon count change, retaining, for example, the 
date/time format and menu button visibility as the user 
has set them.

I deal with this when I have to change to a lower resolution by 
simply double clicking on the gripper or 'shoe' of the bar.  This 
maximizes the bar while I use it.  Then I double-click it again 
to minimize it.  Not a great solution, but I'm happy enough 
with it not to have dug into the mods necessary to force to a 
fixed width.  I'd encourage someone else to dig in if they have 
time.

I know next to nothing about Desk Bands--perhaps just 
setting the ptActual's x member would work, but I guess it 
might require something to detect and undo OnSize events 
that don't result from user sizing and prevent reentry (does 
OnSize by user imply that the control has focus? If so, that 
may be a goiod indicator of the user being the sizer).

I would have marked this as a Feature Request but there 
doesn't seem to be an obvious way to do so.

I agree with the inconvenience (it would be really nice to force 
it to maintain a minimum width, especially when changing 
resolutions), but unfortunately, thus is the life of a toolbar in 
the Windows taskbar.  AFAIK, there's no way to 
programatically change the width of a taskbar toolbar or even 
keep it a const width without some serious hijinks.

But, we're already performing some stunts with the keyboard 
bindings, so maybe it's a possibility...  Will?
