Hi guys
First post on this website, so go easy on me.
I'm a fairly inexperienced programmer, mostly using snippets of other people's code and adapting it for my own uses, but I have found a problem. I want to change my desktop programatically, but to a picture on the internet, not on my hard drive. I have included my current code. Is there anything I have to change to make it work, like an addition to the url of the picture?
The code compiles fine, but it just changes my desktop to grey instead of the image. Also, it works with any .bmp images on my hard drive.
#include <windows.h>
int main()
{
SystemParametersInfo( SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, (PVOID) "http://www.deh.enr.state.nc.us/pws/rules/bitmap%20enr%20logo.bmp" , SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE ); // Just an example url
}
