   Help: How to reserve top of screen for a

   I've created a news feeder application for my business, the news bar sizes   
   itself to the screen width and positions itself at the top of the screen.   
      
   The trouble with this is it can be hidden by other windows that have focus,   
   hence I want it to be permanently displayed but not overlaying other   
   windows.   
      
   The BBC news ticker http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/help/3223354.stm achieves   
   exactly what I want, it reserves the top n pixels of the screen and all   
   other windows, even when maximised, can't use that area.   
      
   My question is - how do you do that????   
      
   Regards,
