There's any window event that happens or any WINAPI, in could tell me when the desktop 'Progman' becomes the foreground window?
I would like to avoid 'hackish' things like using Settimers constantly checking WinActive or something similar.
So far what I tried was listening to EVENT_SYSTEM_MINIMIZESTART using SetWinEventHook and on each notification compare the title/class to check if it's 'Progman'.
I wonder if there's any 'better' option to do this.
How to detect when the desktop become ative?

Although you can use a WinWait, I think you will find that one can view the desktop without having it be the active window-- just as with other windows.

Code: Select all

GroupAdd, desktop, ahk_class WorkerW
GroupAdd, desktop, ahk_class Progman
Loop {
WinWaitActive, ahk_group desktop
MsgBox, 64, Done, Yep!
