Switch to desktop without opening an application

[authorleon]

Hello,

Is it possible to switch to a desktop with opening an application.

For example: vdesk 3

When I try this, well I get a popup.

Thanks

Anyone please?

I've been unable to work on vdesk for the last couple of months due to moving. I'll work on re-adding the ability to switch to a desktop without opening a program. It should be a fairly fast fix.

Thank you very much.

At the moment, I have this code with hotkey to make it work. Not the best but it works, most of the time:

;<<<<<<<<<< NUMPAD 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

NUMPAD3::

dhw := A_DetectHiddenWindows

DetectHiddenWindows On

Run "%ComSpec%" /k,, Hide, pid

while !(hConsole := WinExist("ahk_pid" pid))

         Sleep 10

DllCall("AttachConsole", "UInt", pid)

DetectHiddenWindows %dhw%

objShell := ComObjCreate("WScript.Shell")

objExec := objShell.Exec("cmd /c vdesk on:3 run:rundll32""")

While !objExec.Status

Sleep 100

strLine := objExec.StdOut.ReadAll() ;read the output at once

;msgbox % strLine

DllCall("FreeConsole")

Process Exist, %pid%

if (ErrorLevel == pid)

Process Close, %pid%

return

new MSI will be available soon.

Please uninstall the older version, and add the new directory under program files to the system path.

Great, I will give it ago. Would the command be: vdesk on:3

MSI available at : https://github.com/eksime/VDesk/releases/tag/v1.1.0

The command would be vdesk 3 for compatibility, though I may add support for vdesk on:3 too.

Thank you, works perfectly.

Just to let you know I had to copy the file to C:\Winodws in order for in to work in the CMD.

Thank you
