Problem about screen-saver program...
-
Hello, buddies, My program is a Win32 screen-saver program(ie, .SCR file), during its running process, it will launch another Win32 program to do certain things, and after this screen-saver program exits, that Win32 program may pop up a window for showing some information to the user. Here's my problem: on the WinNT-based platform (WinNT/2K/XP), when the screen-saver is set to be password protected (ie, the user needs to input the password to login the system after the screen-saver exits), the Win32 program which launched by the screen-saver is immediately terminated also when the screen-saver exits, so that Win32 program doesn't have the opportunity to show the information dialog. It's seem that That Win32 program is terminated by the system when the screen-saver ends, and this's maybe relate to something like "desktop switch", because the password-protected screen-saver is running on the so-called "screen-saver" desktop, and the other program launched by the screen-saver is also running on this desktop, the screen-saver ends, the "screen-saver" desktop disappears, so the other program dies as well... The above is my opinion for this problem, so I tried to do somethings like switch the desktop in the screen-saver and the other program, but failed, that problem still exists. So, does anyone can tell me: How to let the another program still run after the password-protected screen-saver ends? Thanks!
