Ok, I admit it... Sometimes I fail to look far enough for the answer. I did find out where the limitation of the TaskBarList was coming from and have resolved the problem myself.

I am working with the sample project trying to understand how to update each pane. I am presently working in the TaskBarList, trying to write data to the list. I am successful but only up to a point. I am able to write 24 items (0x0019) to the list, regardless of what I do. Here is a snippet:

m_listCtrl.SetItemCount(1024);

int n = m_listCtrl.GetItemCount(); <== n=0x0019 at this point

ASSERT(m_listCtrl.GetItemCount() == 1024);

It always asserts and I can only display 24 lines of code. I take it the SetItemCount() is not working but I don't know why. Suggestions?

Thanks!
