setting desktop wallpaper doesn't work
-
If this has already been addressed, just point me in the right direction, please. I'm trying to make an automatic wallpaper changer (using that user32.dll api that everyone uses, although there are differences among the parameters they choose). What I've done works fine on a PC at work, but it won't work on my Inspiron e1505. I understand it not wanting to display anything but a bitmap, but it didn't even want to display bitmaps on the laptop. Does it have to do with my Inspiron's odd-sized display or something (it's wider than normal displays)? Any ideas?

I guess the modifications I did to it (while using a work PC... yeah, I know, but I wasn't on the clock) did the trick. Now it works just fine. I was saving images using myBitmap.Save(string filename) when I should have been using myBitmap.Save(string filename, ImageFormat.Bmp). I don't know why that would make a difference, but it did. It still doesn't answer the question of why it wasn't displaying images that were originally bitmaps, but, hey, it works now. Thanks anyway!
