Here is the declaration of my desktop handles:

  HDESK defaultDesktop, tempDesktop;


And here is the code I'm trying:

  defaultDesktop = GetThreadDesktop(GetCurrentThreadId());
  tempDesktop = CreateDesktop("GetItRightChild",
                              NULL,
                              NULL,
                              0,
                              DESKTOP_CREATEWINDOW | DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP,
                              NULL);
  BOOL rv = SwitchDesktop(tempDesktop);


When the application closes, I have the following to reset things back to
normal:

  BOOL rv = SwitchDesktop(defaultDesktop);
  rv = CloseDesktop(tempDesktop);



All this code seems to be OK EXCEPT that my application does not display
itself on the new desktop.  Rather, it remains hidden because it get
displayed on the original, default desktop.  How can I make the main (and at
present only) form display itself on the new desktop rather than the old
one?  There is, after all, little point in making and switching to a new
desktop with nothing on it except my program if I can't get my program to
display itself there.  I don't want the new desktop to have anything on it,
not even a menu, until my program says its OK (And, I want my program to
simply hid itself when the user wishes to exit, instead of closing, so that
I can relate how long a kid can use the computer based on how well he does
on the test provided and what his parents or teachers say is suitable - this
I have figured out in that I'd have a timer, set its interval based on
parental policy and score, and then switch the user back to the new desktop
and my application in the timer event handler, resetting everything
appropriately).

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,
