How to hide and show icons on the Windows Desktop (Views: 720)
Problem/Question/Abstract: I have seen code to hide the taskbar, but is there an API call or Delphi Code to hide the whole desktop except the applications you want to show? Answer: Not a single call, you would have to do an enumWindows and hide whatever windows you do not want to show. This hides and shows the icons on the desktop, for example: procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); const b: Boolean = false; var wnd: HWND; begin wnd := FindWindow('progman', nil); if wnd <> 0 then begin if b then ShowWindow(wnd, SW_SHOW) else ShowWindow(wnd, SW_HIDE); b := not b; end else showmessage('Desktop not found'); end; |
