[comp.sys.next] Lowering the dock

userWEAT@ualtamts.BITNET (John Wetherill) (09/05/89)

I'd like to have my application raise and lower the dock.
Does anyone know how to do this from within an application?

No there isn't a way, unfortunately. If you have to do it, 
one way to approach the problem would be to send mouse events
to the Workspace Manager. I'm not sure about the details, however; you
might just want to experiment along those lines.
