OK.  Here is my new WinMain:

WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)
{
  try
  {
    HDESK defaultDesktop, tempDesktop;
    defaultDesktop = GetThreadDesktop(GetCurrentThreadId());
    tempDesktop = CreateDesktop("GetItRightChild",
                                NULL,
                                NULL,
                                0,
                                DESKTOP_CREATEWINDOW |
DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP,
                                NULL);
    BOOL rv = SetThreadDesktop(tempDesktop);
    rv = SwitchDesktop(tempDesktop);
     Application->Initialize();
     Application->CreateForm(__classid(TMainForm), &MainForm);
     Application->Run();
    rv = SwitchDesktop(defaultDesktop);
    rv = SetThreadDesktop(defaultDesktop);
    rv = CloseDesktop(tempDesktop);
  }
  catch (Exception &exception)
  {
     Application->ShowException(&exception);
  }
  return 0;
}

Alas, the behaviour with this is identical to my first attempt.  The desktop
is created and we switch to it, but my main form does not appear on it.  But
when I close, I see my form displayed on the original desktop.

Of the flags I can use:

DESKTOP_CREATEMENU Required to create a menu on the desktop.
DESKTOP_CREATEWINDOW Required to create a window on the desktop.
DESKTOP_ENUMERATE Required for the desktop to be enumerated.
DESKTOP_HOOKCONTROL Required to establish any of the window hooks.
DESKTOP_JOURNALPLAYBACK Required to perform journal playback on the desktop.
DESKTOP_JOURNALRECORD Required to perform journal recording on the desktop.
DESKTOP_READOBJECTS Required to read objects on the desktop.
DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP Required to activate the desktop using the
SwitchDesktop function.
DESKTOP_WRITEOBJECTS Required to write objects on the desktop.

I know I need DESKTOP_CREATEWINDOW and DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP, and that I
don't need DESKTOP_CREATEMENU, and probably not DESKTOP_ENUMERATE (but I am
not certain).  Would failure to use one of the other flags cause my problem,
or is there some other function I should be calling as well?  Or is there
something I ought to be setting in the default TApplication object?  Or, do
I have to go so far as to create a separate program that handles creating
and switching to the new desktop and then spawns my program as a child
process?

Thanks,

Ted
