Function Long ShowWindow (Long hwnd, Long nCmdShow) Library "user32" Alias For "ShowWindow"

2. Declare constants below on Declare -> Instance Variables

Constant Long SW_HIDE = 0
Constant Long SW_NORMAL = 1
Constant Long SW_SHOWMINIMIZED = 2
Constant Long SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED = 3
Constant Long SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE = 4
Constant Long SW_SHOW = 5
Constant Long SW_MINIMIZE = 6
Constant Long SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE = 7

String ls_ShellViewWnd = "Progman"
String ls_ShellTaskBarWnd = "Shell_TrayWnd"
String ls_Null
Long ll_HTaskBar, ll_HDeskTop

setNull (ls_Null)
//Hide TaskBar
ll_HTaskBar = FindWindowEx ( 0, 0, ls_ShellTaskBarWnd, ls_Null)
ShowWindow ( ll_HTaskBar, SW_HIDE )
//Hide Desktop
ll_HDeskTop = FindWindowEx ( 0, 0, ls_ShellViewWnd, ls_Null )

ShowWindow ( ll_HTaskBar, SW_SHOW )
//Show Desktop
ll_HDeskTop = FindWindowEx ( 0, 0, ls_ShellViewWnd, ls_Null )
ShowWindow ( ll_HDeskTop, SW_SHOW )
