[Solved] Desktop Detection

[gsx]

Hi,

Since I cannot find a solution, I hope somebody can tell it.

I like to show a tooltip when Desktop is on focus. I tried the following code but it does not work.

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)

While 1
    If WinActive("[CLASS:Program; Title:Program Manager]") Then
        ToolTip("Desktop is active.")
    Else
        ToolTip("Desktop is not active")
    EndIf
    Sleep(88)
WEnd

Thanks.

The CLASS is "Progman" not "Program"

If WinActive("[CLASS:Progman; Title:Program Manager]") Then

Thank you A-Jay, it worked!

By the way, is it possible to detect Desktop by just hovering over it, which does not require necessarily to activate desktop?

This thread seems to be talking about it but I cannot apply the code to my need.

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
$hWnd = WinGetHandle("classname=Progman")
DllCall("user32.dll", "long", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", 0x111, "int", 28931, "int", 0)

Try this

#include <WinAPI.au3>

$DesktopHandle = ControlGetHandle("[CLASS:Progman]", "", "SysListView321")
While 1
    $MousePos = _WinAPI_GetMousePos()
    $WinHandle = _WinAPI_WindowFromPoint($MousePos)
    If $WinHandle = $DesktopHandle Then MsgBox(0,"Ding-Dong","Gotcha")
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
