Hi,

I use API GetDesktopWindow to get desktop window handle and compare with
WindowFromPoint(x,y) to get window handle.
GetDesktopWindow return 65556
WindowFromPoint return 65700
but I use apy++ to get desktop window handle, it return 100A2 or 1000A4
why?


Best Wish,

Hi Harvie,

You may or may not realise that the desktop window isn't what you see on
your screen, when you're looking at your desktop icons. You're seeing a
listview, which fills the desktop window.
 
Hello Tom,

Thanks!
It's right :)
I use spy++ to find window, got "desktop window" class is listview.
Then how can i know the mouse click window is a desktop window or i click
the place is not any other window except the listview.
I want to know use click the place can see the wallpaper (desktop window).
