CreateWindow

[Pyramus]

I've got a program running in a particular user process. This user is not the same as the logged in user.

I am calling CreateWindow in this process and it's not being displayed, despite the call succeeding. My guess is that it is being displayed but on the desktop of the other process.

Can anyone confirm this? Is there a way to get it to display on the logged on users desktop?

It is so, if the window is OK.
There are some functions You can use to change process context:

ImpersonateSelf(SecurityImpersonation);
HWINSTA hwinstaUser = OpenWindowStation("WinSta0", FALSE, MAXIMUM_ALLOWED);
if (hwinstaUser == NULL)
{
RevertToSelf();
}
else
SetProcessWindowStation(hwinstaUser);
HDESK hdeskUser = OpenDesktop("Default", 0, FALSE, MAXIMUM_ALLOWED);
SetThreadDesktop(hdeskUser);

Default and WinSta0 used for currently logged user.

Thanks- I have managed to create the window and it shows on the desktop- but it just says "not Responding"- any ideas?
