@Montauk198 this was made in 07 as just sumnt to prove to myself i could do it, and to me and a few other ppl it was pretty good. i did another version right after this that used any search engines image option and it would go through and grab any url that ended in a few dif image formats then gif for xp only, also in the last one i edited the timer to check the system time if you wanted it to change hours or days later so the timer wouldn't take up memory, i was pretty proud of it.
@jepkurt09 no link, this is so old and i've lost the program and source. as you can see with the comments i thought about remaking it but windows 7 has this pretty much built in.
the code you give does not work in my vb6 please private message me on youtube ill rate 5/5 and will subscribe if you do send me a working code. thanks
Private Declare Function SystemParametersInfo Lib "user32" Alias "SystemParametersInfoA" (ByVal uAction As Long, ByVal uParam As Long, ByVal lpvParam As Any, ByVal fuWinIni As Long) As Long
ok for everybody who wants this, go check out windows 7 RC it has it built in, if you want to code this you need to add a simple function and public constant
Declare Function SystemParametersInfo Lib "user32" Alias "SystemParametersInfoA" (ByVal uAction As Long, ByVal uParam As Long, ByVal lpvParam As Any, ByVal fuWinIni As Long) As Long
Public Const SETDESKWALLPAPER = 20
now to actually change the wallpaper you will call
Though this video is kinda old and the crappy comments don't help much(idiots)... Just wandering, Can it be setup to be run as a windows process? and Can the source code be downloaded or shared?
yes it is a program made in vb6 so it is a stand alone exe and if you mean if it can run as a service it wouldn't take much to make it a service just might need more code specially if multiple users are on the machine. and as far as the source code and shared i would if i still had it and i do plan on remaking it also to be able to search google img's. just don't know when im going to get around to it
The only thing is I dont understand a single thing because there are no instructions or audio. Put some info on there, like others use notepad and tell us how to do it instead of howing us. Because if watch it from the beginning it starts with a program we dont no about or cant read the title.
Vista/Xp WallPaper Changer do you not get. but if you read "the point was to learn how to do it within a compiled programm made with vb6" i wasn't trying to say for you all to learn it. the video is just showing the program in action i made it about a month before i did the video i put the video up here to show a friend who wanted it but i already started making a new one with the source but i been working on other stuff so idk when i will be able to finish it and upload a tut for it
