GetThreadDesktop
The GetThreadDesktop function returns a handle to the desktop associated with a specified thread.
HDESK GetThreadDesktop(
DWORD dwThreadId
| // thread identifier
| );
|
|
Parameters
dwThreadId
Identifies the thread for which to return the desktop handle. The GetCurrentThreadId and CreateProcess functions return thread identifiers.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is the handle of the desktop
associated with the specified thread.
Remarks
The system associates a desktop with a thread when that thread is created. A
thread can use the SetThreadDesktop function to change its desktop. The desktop associated with a thread must be
on the window station associated with the thread's process.
The calling process can use the returned handle in calls to the GetUserObjectInformation, GetUserObjectSecurity, SetUserObjectInformation, and SetUserObjectSecurity functions.
Windows 95: Windows 95 does not support multiple desktops, so GetThreadDesktop always returns the same value.

Nostalgia .Net |

.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
