Why MagSetImageScalingCallback function fails when is executed in new desktop?

[flashcoder]

I'm trying get a screenshot of a new desktop created (CreateDesktop api + executing explorer.exe to new desktop) using Magnification api like showed in this tutorial.

I ported with success the C++ code from tutorial to Delphi and both examples (C++ and Delphi) works fine when executed from Win Vista ~ Win 10 and with Aero Theme enabled.

The trouble to this question is because if i create a new desktop (clone original desktop) and execute this example of screen capture, MagSetImageScalingCallback fails.

Someone know a possible solution to MagSetImageScalingCallback also work on new desktop created?

Thanks in advance by any help.

1. What does your GetLastError() return?
2. Im sure you saw the

   Zitat:

   The MagSetImageScalingCallback function is deprecated in Windows 7 and later, and should not be used in new applications.

3. Your example is missing your CreateDesktop shenanigans. As far as I recall, additional desktops are very limited. Example: They cannot have Aero features (and probably other DWM stuff).

GetLastError() returns 50 - ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED - The request is not supported.

Really, this about DWM is true. And even that MagSetImageScalingCallback work, but MagSetWindowSource will fail because this api only works with Aero Theme enabled.

SOLVED!

This is working on Win 8/8.1 and 10, all x86 and x64.

Not works in Windows versions < 8

[Der schöne Günther]

As I said, that's because Aero and all that Jazz is inactive on separate Desktops on Windows < 8.

Exactly!
