Add Dock Band Support

The Command Palette Dock is a persistent toolbar at the edge of the user's screen. Your extension can provide dock bands — strips of items that appear in the Dock — giving users quick access to commands without opening the full Command Palette.

When to Use This Skill

• Adding a quick-access button to the persistent toolbar
• Creating a multi-button toolbar strip
• Displaying live-updating information (clock, CPU usage, etc.)
• Providing frequently-used commands without opening the full palette

Prerequisites

• Command Palette Extension SDK version 0.9 or later (Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions ≥ 0.9.260303001)

Quick Start: Single Button Dock Band
