Function name : GetThreadDesktop

Group: Window Station and Desktop - Library: user32

The GetThreadDesktop function retrieves a handle to the desktop associated with a specified thread.

Code examples:

Obtaining a handle to the desktop associated with the calling thread
How to prevent users from accessing the Windows Desktop and from switching to other applications

Declaration:

HDESK GetThreadDesktop(
  DWORD dwThreadId   // thread identifier
);

FoxPro declaration:

DECLARE INTEGER GetThreadDesktop IN user32;
	INTEGER dwThreadId

Parameters:

dwThreadId [in] Handle to the thread for which to return the desktop handle. The GetCurrentThreadId and CreateProcess functions return thread identifiers.

Return value:

If the function succeeds, the return value is a handle to the desktop associated with the specified thread.

Comments:

Windows 95/98/Me: The system does not support multiple desktops, so GetThreadDesktop always returns the same value.
