 |
|
Desktop background for your Window :
---------------------------------------------
Quick Info - Set Desktop as background.
VDS version - VDS 5.x +
Windows version - Win 9x/2k/NT/XP
Not compatible - -
Non-VDS/Non System dll - No.
API - Yes.
Tested on - Win XP.
Difficulty Rating - Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced
Another sipmle API demo; Shows desktop background on your dialog giving it a different look. See your wallpaper on your VDS dialog !.
Instead of a timer you can use paint style so that the background is refreshed only occasionally. The function is provided primarily for shell desktops. It is different from Invisible sytle in that desktop icons are not seen.
| Code: |
DIALOG CREATE,Desktop Window,-1,0,240,160,,Class BITWIN,NOMIN
DIALOG SHOW
LOADLIB user32.dll
:EVLOOP
WAIT EVENT,0.01
GOTO @EVENT()
:TIMER
%C = @STRDEL(@WINEXISTS(#BITWIN),1,1)
%A = @LIB(user32,GetDC,INT:,%C)
%D = @LIB(user32,PaintDesktop,INT:,%A)
%D = @LIB(user32,ReleaseDC,INT:,%C,%A)
GOTO EVLOOP
:CLOSE
FREELIB user32.dll
EXIT

Cool example. 
Also just an addition, added the "resizable" style.
| Code: | DIALOG CREATE,Desktop Window,-1,0,240,160,,Class BITWIN,NOMIN,RESIZABLE
DIALOG SHOW
LOADLIB user32.dll
:EVLOOP
WAIT EVENT,0.01
GOTO @EVENT()
:RESIZE
:TIMER
%C = @STRDEL(@WINEXISTS(#BITWIN),1,1)
%A = @LIB(user32,GetDC,INT:,%C)
%D = @LIB(user32,PaintDesktop,INT:,%A)
%D = @LIB(user32,ReleaseDC,INT:,%C,%A)
GOTO EVLOOP
:CLOSE
FREELIB user32.dll
EXIT |

Good I didnt think about that; Also if it has notitle and ontop style with hotspots(with links to common files/folders then i think it can be cooler
(primarily for shell desktops as i said)
