How to create a Sidebar form in delphi

How can I create a Sidebar form in delphi.

I try the ScreenSnap and Align properties but I need that the form stay visible even if the user maximize other forms, without been on top. Just like the windows sidebar do.

Update: From the comments: if a window is maximized, it maximizes next to the window, not in front of or behind.

What you're looking for is called an AppBar. Begin your research with the ShAppBarMessage API function.

You can call a Windows API function to force your application to stay on top:

SetWindowPos(Handle, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE);
