Using C I was able to create an Application Desktop Toolbar. But with fasm I got struck can someone help me accomplish this.

Here goes my C code

Code:

    .....
    APPBARDATA abd = {0};
    switch(uMsg)
    {
      case WM_CREATE:
           abd.cbSize = sizeof(APPBARDATA);
           abd.hWnd = hwnd;
           SHAppBarMessage(ABM_NEW, &abd);
           abd.rc.top = 0;
           abd.rc.left = 0;
           abd.rc.right = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
           abd.rc.bottom = abd.rc.top + 60;
           
           abd.uEdge = ABE_TOP;
           
           SHAppBarMessage(ABM_QUERYPOS, &abd);

SHxxx - it's shell32.dll API
So get shell32.inc with imports. Then rewrite APPBARDATA structure from C++ SDK. And I guess the rest is just copy, change and paste thing. Rewriting from C/C++ to assembly of code that only uses some APIs isn't so hard.
