Window Stations - Win32 Programmer's Reference (win32.hlp)

Window Stations

A window station is a secure object that contains a clipboard, a set of global atoms and a group of desktop objects. The interactive window station assigned to the logon session of the interactive user also contains the keyboard, mouse, and display device. The interactive window station is visible to the user and can receive input from the user. All other window stations are noninteractive, which means that they cannot be made visible to the user, and cannot receive user input.

Applications can use the following functions for manipulating window station objects:

Function	Description
CloseWindowStation	Closes a specified window station.
CreateWindowStation	Creates a new window station.
EnumWindowStations	Enumerates the window stations in the system by repeatedly calling an application-defined EnumWindowStationProc callback function.
