MS Windows, How to display to selected desktop ?

[jesvh]

Hi, dear all:

In MS Windows, in my program (a service), I need to set display to another Desktop ( a service seems always show on Default desktop ),

in Unix/Linux, there is a parameter DISPLAY ...., but how can I do it in MS windows ?


Thanks !!

As far as I know, you cannot just display a window on another desktop.
You can however launch a new process on another desktop. See the http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...px]STARTUPINFO parameter to CreateProcess. It allows you to specify the desktop.

Thank you, Marc G.

The MessageBox() seems can show on any desktop, if it has the type MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION set, but not sure if it makes a new process or not. so I think maybe there are ways to show on another desktop.
