Flex/AIR Application Desktop Toolbar

I am currently constructing an AIR application using the Flex framework for deployment on Windows platforms and it would be preferable (for the sake of UX) that the main application window acts as a Application Desktop Toolbar on the right edge of the screen (similar to the new Facebook Desktop Messenger application when "docked").

What is the best way (if any) to perform this using AIR? In the case that there is no solution, can native processes or native extensions be used? If so, how?

you can use alwaysInFront to keep the application on top of other windows

in flex: <s:WindowedApplication alwaysInFront="true" ...

in as3: nativeWindow.alwaysInFront=true;

As for the docking part, this link may help you.
