Achilles Posted April 23, 2007 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]

Achilles Posted April 23, 2007 Author 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... My Programs[list][*]Knight Media Player[*]Multiple Desktops[*]Daily Comics[*]Journal[/list]

MrCreatoR Posted April 23, 2007 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...
