The MDA appears on the call to OpenDesktop.

I have tried a variety of approaches (including specifying the A and W
variant with ExactSpelling=true, and PreserveSig=true) but none of them seem
to work. This code was copied from a 1.1 sample that purported to work
without an error.


public static class Desktop
{
private const long DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP = 0x0100L;

[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, PreserveSig=true)]
private static extern IntPtr OpenDesktop(string lpszDesktop, int
dwFlags, bool fInherit, long dwDesiredAccess);

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern bool SwitchDesktop(IntPtr hDesktop);

public static bool IsLocked()
{
IntPtr hdt = OpenDesktop("Default", 0, false,
DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP);

if (IntPtr.Zero == hdt)
return false;

return SwitchDesktop(hdt);
}
}

John,

[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, PreserveSig=true)]
private static extern IntPtr OpenDesktop(string lpszDesktop, int
dwFlags, bool fInherit, long dwDesiredAccess);

^^^^

Should be a (u)int.

The last argument is not a long it should be an unsigned int.
The MDA did not exist in v1.1, so that means it's only reported now.

THANKS to both of you! My problem was that ACCESS_MASK (the last param of
OpenDesktop) is unsigned.

For those who are interested in the final rewrite, here it is. This code is
running inside a screen saver, and accurately detects whether the Default
desktop has been locked (before, after, or during).

public static class Desktop
{
private const uint DESKTOP_READOBJECTS = 0x0001;
private const uint DESKTOP_WRITEOBJECTS = 0x0080;
private const uint DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP = 0x0100;
private const uint AccessUnlocked = DESKTOP_READOBJECTS |
DESKTOP_WRITEOBJECTS | DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP;

[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, SetLastError=true)]
private static extern IntPtr OpenDesktop(string lpszDesktop, int
dwFlags,
bool fInherit, uint dwDesiredAccess);

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern bool SwitchDesktop(IntPtr hDesktop);

public static bool IsNotLocked()
{
IntPtr hdt = OpenDesktop("Default", 0, false, AccessUnlocked);

// If we can make the switch, the desktop is not locked
if (SwitchDesktop(hdt))
return true;

return false;
}
}
