wxTaskbarHelper - Windows 7 Taskbar features and Dock tile progress display

[TcT]

Hi,
I saw that Windows 7 taskbar features were a proposed GSoC project and saw
some interest in the past on the mailing list.

I had this wxWidgets class lying around from a production project which
does Progress, Buttons and Thumbnail.
On OSX it does only support progress from on 10.7 and newer.

I've changed the folder structure a little bit and made the names more
wxWidget style.

I haven't completed the sample yet but maybe this can already be of some
use to somebody or could even be included into wxWidgets.
Also I currently don't have a "generic" (empty) version yet.

Regards,
Tobias

Hi,

It was not only proposed but also accepted, see SOC2014_TASKBAR branch of
https://github.com/zhchbin/wxWidgets repository.

This is just fine because wxWidgets requires 10.7 in the trunk anyhow.

We hope to merge SOC2014_TASKBAR branch soon, so it would be great if you
could review/compare your code with the code there and comment on any
possible improvements. Also, I don't think Chaobin will have time to
implement Mac support during the GSoC, so if you could provide OS X
implementation for the classes that he has, it would be really great.

TIA!
