Foreground window handle

If I run the following code and then click on the Desktop, why are
both values different? I thought they should be the same?

Code: Select all

Repeat
  Sleep_(500)
  Debug "Foreground = "+Str(GetForegroundWindow_())
  Debug "Fake Desktop = "+Str(GetDesktopWindow_())
  Debug "Real Desktop = "+Str(FindWindow_(0,"Program Manager"))
  Debug ""

Basically, I need to set the focus to the Desktop in my app, but it's
hard to know what the handle of the Desktop is because using the
GetDesktopWindow API doesn't seem to actually be the Desktop...?

UPDATE: Never mind, I worked out that I can get the Desktop handle
by using: dt=FindWindow_(0,"Program Manager").
