taskbar doesn't pop up from the bottom of the screen when it's set to auto-hide and the window is se

[EDN Admin]

even though I solved some problems thanks to you, I still have one left
the main idea was to occupy the whole working area with my WS_POPUP window and adjust its size whenever the taskbar switched from auto hide mode to fixed mode
by processing SPI_SETWORKAREA I managed to fill the gaps between the window and the taskbar when it auto hides itself but when I point the mouse to the bottom of the screen on my window, the taskbar doesnt appear
when I make my windows height one pixel less then the height of the working area, the taskbar displays properly and pops out, but by peering into that spot I noticed parts of other (background) windows can be seen through that one pixel
gap and thats not what I want
however when I mix WS_VSCROLL and WS_HSCROLL with WS_POPUP style, the taskbar works great but I dont need scroll bars on my window
please help to make the taskbar popup properly in this case
thanks
