You do not need to install the Windows 7 SDK when using itaskbarlist3.

Windows 7 provides the taskbar features for a new user experience, suchOverlay icons and progress bars.

To implement these features, you must first obtain the itaskbarlist3 interface pointer of taskbar. Because vs2010 has not been officially released, it is time-consuming and labor-consuming to install a Windows 7 SDK with more than 1 GB for vs2008 and earlier versions. In fact, we only need to create a header file and define itaskbarlist3 to use it directly.

 

The following is the definition of the itaskbarlist3 interface created by the itaskbarlist2 interface.
