Here are two functions I wrote a while back. The first one returns the app bar height, the second one checks if the bar's auto hide feature is active:

+ Code Snippet

function GetAppBarHeight()
   local hap
   local result
   Load Dll "user32.dll", 1
   hap = Call Dll(1, "FindWindowA", "Shell_TrayWnd", "")
   if hap = 0 then ExitFunction 0
   make memblock 1, 16
   Call Dll 1, "GetWindowRect", hap, Get Memblock ptr(1)
   result = Memblock Dword(1, 12)- MemBlock Dword(1, 4)
   delete dll 1
   delete memblock 1
endfunction result

function AppBarAutoHide()
   local result
   Load Dll "shell32.dll", 1
   make memblock 1, 36
   write memblock dword 1, 0, 36
   result = Call Dll(1, "SHAppBarMessage", 4, Get Memblock Ptr(1))
   result = result and 1
   delete dll 1
   delete memblock 1
endfunction result

I figured it out myself using BlueGUI as I can get the exact size of the "program area" which was what I really wanted. But then DBP scales down the rendered image to fit this area and until Lee implements cropping inside windows it's gonna look horrible unless I run it fullscreen.

Thanks anyway
