I'm not sure the exact answer, but anytime you are looking for a Win32 API function, you should check out the site http://www.pinvoke.net/. Hogan

Hi, what changes on the desktop ? AFAIK: - the resolution, the pixel depth, ... that will fire a Paint event; see also the SystemEvents class. - the icons (new, renamed, moved,...): no event available - the background image: no event available Hope this helps

this weeks tips: - make Visual display line numbers: Tools/Options/TextEditor/... - show exceptions with ToString() to see all information - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google

Actually i need to send the image of my desktop to remote computer whenever desktop gets changes. So for this, the i am expecting a common event(for opening new window on the desktop ,selecting the desktop area,minimizing and maximizing any window over the dekstop) that can be caught in my application and at the same time it sends the desktops changed image to the remote computer. So plz any body have any idea?? Actually i know there happens a Paint System event, if so how can i handle this event in my application to know the changed state of my desktop?? Thank you in advance!! :laugh:
