Show/Hide Desktop Icons
By Adil Hussain Raza, published on 15 Oct 2005
This code uses API calls to Hide/Unhide icons on the desktop. Put this code in a Module. Then Call these functions when needed! This code uses FindWindowEx & ShowWindow API Calls to do the job.
API Declarations:Private Declare Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowExA" (ByVal hWnd1 As Long, ByVal hWnd2 As Long, ByVal lpsz1 As String, ByVal lpsz2 As String) As Long
Private Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nCmdShow As Long) As Long
Function DesktopIconsShow()
Dim hwnd As Long
hwnd = FindWindowEx(0&, 0&, "Progman", vbNullString)
ShowWindow hwnd, 5
End Function
Function DesktopIconsHide()
Dim hwnd As Long
hwnd = FindWindowEx(0&, 0&, "Progman", vbNullString)
ShowWindow hwnd, 0
End Function
