WinQueryDesktopBkgnd
This function returns the desktop structure, which contains the information about the current state of the desktop background.
Syntax
WinQueryDesktopBkgnd(hwndDesktop, pdsk)
Parameters
- hwndDesktop (HWND) - input
- Desktop-window handle.
- HWND_DESKTOP : The desktop window
- Other : Specified desktop window.
- pdsk (PDESKTOP) - output
- Desktop-state structure.
Returns
- rc (BOOL) - returns
- Success indicator.
- TRUE - Desktop-window status provided
- FALSE - Desktop-window status not provided.
Errors
Possible returns from WinGetLastError
- PMERR_INVALID_HWND (0x1001) : An invalid window handle was specified.
Remarks
This function allows an application to query the background information of the desktop window. This application must be acting as the OS/2 PM shell in place of the IBM supplied shell. If the IBM supplied shell is executing it maintains control of the background of the desktop window, and WinQueryDesktopBkgnd will have no effect on the desktop window background, but will indicate a successful return code.
Example Code
This example uses WinQueryDesktopBkgnd to query the current desktop background bit map before setting it to a new bit map with WinSetDesktopBkgnd.
#define INCL_WINDESKTOP
#define INCL_WINWINDOWMGR
#include <os2.h>
HAB hab;
HWND hwndDeskTop;
DESKTOP DeskTopState;
HBITMAP hbm;
HBITMAP hbm_user;
WinQueryDesktopBkgnd(HWND_DESKTOP,
&DeskTopState);
if (hbm_user != DeskTopState.hbm)
{
DeskTopState.fl = SDT_LOADFILE;
/* the szFile is used to load the bit map because */
/* the fl parameter is set to SDT_LOADFILE. */
strcpy(DeskTopState.szFile,"fruit.bmp");
DeskTopState.hbm = hbm_user;
WinSetDesktopBkgnd(hwndDeskTop,
&DeskTopState);
}
