Docking DeskCalc to screen borders
 

A nice new feature in Deskcalc 6 is the docking function. But what is docking:

What are appbars (application desktop toolbars)? An appbar (application desktop toolbar) is a window similar to the Quick Launch bar, the Language Bar or the Windows Taskbar. It is anchored/docked to an edge of the screen, and it typically provides the user with quick access to various things like program shortcuts, favorite files, folders or URLs, information such as the local weather or sports news, or commonly used programs such as a clock, stopwatch or yourcalculator. Appbars are allocated their own area on the screen and the system prevents other applications from using that area. 

Using this Windows functionality DeskCalc is always visible and doesn't use space occupied by other applications on the desktop.

Choose the screen border for docking:

Always on top calculator 

Enable docking:

Enable Calculator Docking

Fullscreen calculator mode
 

In earlier Desk versions it wasn't possible to to adjust the width of the dialog. 
That has been changed now because DeskCalc is used as calculator on touch screen
by some costumers. They use and start it in fullscreen mode with the /FS command line flag.

deskcalc.exe /FS .... starts DeskCalc in Fullscreenmode
deskcalc.exe /hide .... starts DeskCalc hidden

New: Constants calculation

Constants calculations tape calculator

How does it work? Have a look at the above screenshot and imagine you like to multiply some numbers
with the same multiplier, lets say 2. You start with 2*2=
Now DeskCalc remembers this multiplyer and uses it next time you need it. Any time you enter a number
and press ENTER will result in a multiplication with 2. Have a look at the second calculation to
see how it works. 

The same works for divisions and percentage calculations. The last operation overrides the last constant and
becomes the new constant. Here are some more examples:

 Input        Output
 2 * 2 =       4
 8=            16
 3=              6
-----------------------
 8 / 2 =       4
 16=           8
