How to make a sidebar Add-In

Sidebar add-ins are used for tiny apps commonly known as widgets or gadgets which can show information like system specs, weather reports, clocks and anything you can think of really.

Firstly you will need to follow the main Add-In tutorial found Here then create your add-in to the following specs.

The usercontrol used in your project must have a width no wider than 200pixels wide - this is the standard width of the sidebar so if you make them any wider part of your add-in will not be visible. It can be any height but keep the width to a maximum of 200.

Width: 200 MAX
Height: Anything you want
Content: Use your imagination

Remember to configure the "iLocation" setting to sidebar like this:
Code: Select all
Private iLocation As String = 2
More advanced features for the sidebar will be available soon cooll;
