SwitchDesktop
The SwitchDesktop function makes a desktop visible and activates it. This enables the desktop
to receive input from the user. The calling process must have
DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP access to the desktop for the SwitchDesktop function to succeed.
BOOL SwitchDesktop(
HDESK hDesktop
| // handle of desktop to activate
| );
|
|
Parameters
hDesktop
Identifies the desktop to be made visible and active. This handle is returned
by the CreateDesktop and OpenDesktop functions.
The SwitchDesktop function will fail if the desktop belongs to an invisible window station.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
