c++ change desktop wallpaper

[yuriythebest]

right- currently I have this code:


#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{

SystemParametersInfo( SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, "c:/kovtunets2.jpg", SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE );
cin.get();
return 0;
}




the problem is that my wallpaper doesn't change

you must convert it to .bmp first and then pass bmp in SystemParametersInfo

[yuriythebest]

yeah I tried with bmp also (converted it)

SystemParametersInfo( SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, "C:/kovtunets2.bmp", SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE );
cin.get();
return 0;


still nothing...

just tested it , its not working with jpg, bmp works fine

even your code is working correctly with bmp

[hypheni]

what is "C:/kovtunets2.bmp" ??

It should be.. "C:\\kovtunets2.bmp"

[sv13]

actually both are correct
