    <p>I'm writing a small program that creates a new Windows desktop, switches to it and waits a couple of seconds, and then switches back to the original desktop. I've managed to create and switch to the new desktop, but not back again to the original. I'm using the win32 API in C# and importing the DLLs. I thought GetDesktopWindow() would get me the handle to the original desktop, but it does not work for me.</p> <p>Here is the code snippet I'm trying to get to work.</p> <pre><code> public IntPtr createDesktop(string name) { return CreateDesktop(name, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, 0, (long)DESKTOP_ACCESS_MASK.GENERIC_ALL, IntPtr.Zero); } public IntPtr getCurrentDesktop() { return GetDesktopWindow(); } public void switchDesktop(IntPtr desktop) { SwitchDesktop(desktop); } main() { IntPtr newDesktop = createDesktop("Test"); IntPtr oldDesktop = getCurrentDesktop(); switchDesktop(newDesktop); switchDesktop(oldDesktop); } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
