Achilles Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I'm trying to find a way to refresh the desktop but I'm not having luck... The part that annoys me is that I remember reading it somewhere on these forums but I don't remember where... Just a side question: Is that what F5 does if you push when the desktop is active? Any help appreciated! My Programs[list][*]Knight Media Player[*]Multiple Desktops[*]Daily Comics[*]Journal[/list] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Pressing F5 while the desktop is active does refresh somethings - does it do what you need it to do?It does but is there a way you can set the desktop to active? I don't really want to run 'showdesktop' thing and then send F5, but if there was a way I could do by just setting the desktop to active and then sending F5 that would be fine... The problem is I don't know the window name for the desktop... if it exists...

MrCreatoR Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) Pressing F5 is not always the best solution, try this one:Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) $hWnd = WinGetHandle("classname=Progman") DllCall("user32.dll", "long", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", 0x111, "int", 28931, "int", 0)This also will work on any(?) explorer window.Edit: And with this method you not need to activate the desktop Edited April 23, 2007 by MsCreatoR Spoiler Using OS: Win 7 Professional, Using AutoIt Ver(s): 3.3.6.1 / 3.3.8.1 AutoIt Russian Community My Work...
