DotNet Visual C: Identify Which Desktop an App is Running On

  • jay / 206 / Sun, 05 Apr 2009 05:58:00 GMT / Comments (3)
  • Hey There,
    Is it possible to get an unique identifier for a desktop that a
    particular app is running from, from a service? If there are two
    instances of the app running on different desktops (one desktop is
    locked, the other is in use) then the service should have different
    values for each one.

    Thanks,
    Jay

      How are you identifying a "particular app"? By .exe name? By window title?

      OpenInputDesktop, or else EnumDesktops and EnumDesktopWindows should let you
      find a desktop handle for the desktop. Then
      GetUserObjectInformation can get you the unique name.

    2. Mr. Voigt,
      I am going to be identifying the particular app by .exe name,
      which I can find, in turn, the Process ID.

    3. Mr. Voigt,
      Also, if the calling process is a service process, can it get the
      input desktop handle from Open InputDesktop? Would it have the correct
      window station?
