Show my dialog outside the Win2k "locked" screen...
-
Hey,all... My current Win32 application would do some background job while Windows enters the "screensaver" status, and it would shows a top-most dialog outside the screensaver's screen for displaying the working status and progress. But now I encounter a problem: while the option "On resume, password protect" is set on the screensaver setting dialog in Win2K/XP, the dialog box on my application cannot be showed outside the screensaver screen, but if this option is not set, it do. Does anyone can tell me how to solve this problem? Thanks!

The screen saver runs in its own desktop, so windows created by programs running as your account are not visible. It's the same with the Winlogon desktop (the one you see after you stop the screensaver), it's a separate desktop and your windows won't appear there either. --Mike-- I'm bored...

You could write a screensaver that displays your progress.
My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.
