Setting Wallpaper

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to set the Windows wallpaper from a BlitzMAX application? Naturally if it is a few pointers in the right direction would be helpful. :)

Thanks in advance. :)

I thought this would work but didn't.

Const SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER:Int = $14
Const SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE:Int = $1
Const SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE:Int = $2

Extern "win32"
	Function SystemParametersInfoA:Int(uAction:Int,uParam:Int,lpvParam$z,fuWinIni:Int)
End Extern

Print SystemParametersInfoA(SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, "C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper\Azul.jpg", SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE|SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE)

End

Maybe you will have better luck

Would be nice to be able to get the background texture itself and use it for rendering to.

On the Mac the desktop's backbground is a texture and there are a few apps that tap into it and actually render to it so that there is a full-screen screensaver running as the backdrop to the desktop. It would be cool to be able to do that.

assari,

Thanks - will try and make head or tail of what you done there is supposed to do and then see if I can fathom it out at some point. Have to admit I don't have a clue ATM though! LOL. :)
