Evil 'Show Desktop' or drawing on the Desktop?
-
I coded some kind of electronical Post-it notes and I want to stick them on the Windows Desktop, but how? The Show Desktop Icon (or Winkey+D) always minimizes my form and i couldn't find any way to prevent that. Another Idea would be to directly draw my stuff on the Desktop but I don't know how to register to the OnPaint event of the desktop to redraw my stuff. Thanks a lot in advance.

I discoverd that when I click "Show Desktop" that I get the Mesage WM_ACTIVATEAPP which tells me that my app gets deactivated and a thread from the explorer.exe Process gets activated. So far so good, but how do I prevent now that my app gets minimized?
