This application would defeat the purpose of "Show desktop". I don't think it's possible. Why?

I could find the solution. Put this code at onCretae and you will defeat the purpose of "Show desktop".( as SAKryukov said )

VB

HWND ProgmanHwnd =
                 ::FindWindowEx(
                    ::FindWindowEx(
                      ::FindWindow( L&quot;Progman&quot;, L&quot;Program Manager&quot;),
                    NULL, L&quot;SHELLDLL_DefView&quot;,L&quot;&quot;),
                 NULL,L&quot;SysListView32&quot;,L&quot;FolderView&quot;);
::SetParent(m_hWnd, ProgmanHwnd);
