Hi,

I have created a new desktop with CreateDesktop and switch
to that desktop. Then my program is run on that desktop in full screen
mode and has some buttons that let the user start a limited number of
other programs.

I am catching WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING messages to
prevent my main form from ascending in z-order. This all works well.
Only problem: when one of the other started programs is minimized
it is reduced to a small rectangle and is always placed beneath my
program.

Is there a way to get notified of minimized windows?

Currently I use a timer and send my main form every 500ms to the last
place in z-order with SetWindowPos. Is this really the only way??

thanks for any ideas,
Nick
