Barnacle is a autohotkey script. The source is here:
<http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skrommel/Barnacle/Barnacle.ahk>

It is using standard windows APIs with autohotkey's dll access tool.
There is a dll plugin for Powerpro, so I'm confident that the script
could be translated to Powerpro if you or someone else would care to do
it. A normal Powerpro bar has its own window. I do not know if it could
be painted into a foreign application's window in the same way or not.
On my system, having a Barnacle toolbar in notepad or calc makes the
window's border appear open at the right edge of the window. So the
toolbar is fine, but not perfectly integrated.

exe version of Barnacle is here, if anyone is interested.
