hi all,
I want to embed a window into the desktop, that means a window is like a part of the wallpaper, how to realize this?

i use codes:
Code:

dp=sp.WindowFromClassOrTitle("", "Progman");
action.Window.Parent=dp;


or

Code:

dp=sp.WindowFromClassOrTitle("", "Progman");
SetParent(action.Window,dp);


it does not work.

That's well outside of the scope/functionality of S+, you might want to look around for a shell utility which does that.

Thanks, Rob.
I have realized this inspired by liuxilu's post :
https://forum.strokesplu...ipt-for-using-native-dll

it's in some sense a litte easy.

first, place the script in load script. (Ref:https://forum.strokesplus.net/posts/t7183-My-script-for-using-native-dll)

then, in your gesture script:

Code:


//Type for return value.
var RtnT = clr.System.Type.GetType("System.Int32");

//Type array for param types.
var ParmT = host.newArr(clr.System.Type, 2);
ParmT[0] = clr.System.Type.GetType("System.IntPtr");
ParmT[1] = clr.System.Type.GetType("System.IntPtr");
//For ByRef vars, append a & after the type name.

//Object array for params.
var Parm = host.newArr(clr.System.Object, 2);
Parm[0] = action.Window.HWnd;        //window handle
Parm[1] = sp.DesktopWindowListView().HWnd;   //Desktop List View handle
//Parm[1] = sp.DesktopWindow().HWnd;   //Desktop handle
//sp.MessageBox(Parm[0],Parm[1]);

//Get SetParent method
var Mthd = MethodFromNativeDll("user32.dll", "SetParent", RtnT, ParmT);

//Invoke method: embed window in desktop
var v = Mthd.Invoke(null, Parm);


hah, success!

most program can be embed in the desktop， it would not be minimized when Win+D，always on the desktop

but some programs, like the sticky notes，calculator，it failed. i think perhaps it because that these programs are uwp app.
can someon solve this problem?
