Live Contacts in a sidebar gadget

Apologies if this is off topic or a newbie question. I am interested in getting a view of my live contacts from the Vista sidebar. The Contacts Control, while apparently not designed for this, seems to be awfully close. Can anyone point me to whether it would be possible to bridge the gap between this web control and a sidebar control, and how I might go about doing that?

Thank you very much.

Hi Dave,

You should be able to do this by creating a little HTML page that hosts the WL Contacts Control (just like a regular web page), and then place that HTML page or URL to it into your Vista sidebar. I'm not very familiar with the Vista sidebar inner workings, but I think it can contain HTML pages as well as native code gadgets. (If I'm way off on this, please let me know so I can update the scribbles on the wall)
