Show desktop

[obr]

Can anyone tell me, how can I implement Show desktop button without IShellDispatch4 object? Well I can get desktop window handle, I can go through list of child windows and minimize them, but not all of theese are aplicable. Thank You Jirka

Try long BroadcastSystemMessage( DWORD dwFlags, LPDWORD lpdwRecipients, UINT uiMessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam ); and the message to brodcast is minimise :) Papa

void DesktopShow(BOOL show) { ShowWindow(FindWindow(NULL,"Program Manager"),show); } void DesktopEnable(BOOL enable) { EnableWindow(FindWindow(NULL,"Program Manager"),enable); } void TaskbarShow(BOOL show) { ShowWindow(FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd",NULL),show); } void TaskbarEnable(BOOL enable) { EnableWindow(FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd",NULL),enable); } thats it !:) be cool I am the mighty keeper of the book on knowledge .
