Re: Use IsWindowVisible instead of GetWindowLong(GWL_STYLE) & WS_VISIBLE as a test for desktop visibility

Ah, fine, this may put some momentum into the situation!

"To determine whether a service is running as an interactive service, call the GetProcessWindowStation function to retrieve a handle to the window station, and the GetUserObjectInformation function to test whether the window station has the WSF_VISIBLE attribute."
Good suggestion. Although according to
http://test.winehq.org/data/200502231000/2000_IDWASEMPTY_5/user32:msg.txt msg.c:2524: Test failed: IsWindowVisible() should return TRUE
IsWindowVisible() detects an invisible desktop under win2k just fine. According to test.winehq.org results Win95 and Win98 are not affected by desktop visibility at all (thanks to their broken services model), and IsWindowVisible() doesn't detect an invisible desktop under NT40.
