O.P. Patchou help - display on desktop option
i cant send you pms so i will type this here.
i have registered here just to ask you this, help me if you can, thanks
hi
I don't know if you can give me information on how to create a window similar to "display on desktop" feature.
i want to create something similar but for a game that runs in full screen mode.
when game is open and i move your desktop button around... task bar doesn't appear... but it appears with my code.
what i have done is created a window using API DialogBoxParam and making it semi-transparent using SetLayeredWindowAttributes and using WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW so window wont appear on Taskbar and also WS_EX_TOPMOST so it stays on top.
so i had a window with caption, semitransparent, ontop, and not on taskbar, so far so good but sometimes task bar appears when i move the window around or if I alt+tab out of the game and alt+tab back.
my windows has controls (treeview, and other type of windows)
could it be that? or im coding wrong?
i hope you can help me.
i have ask this question also to bitcomet programmer (a torrent client that has a button on desktop) but he didnt respond back, i hope you do.
thank you
