Hi!

I'm developing a Windows 10 and Windows 11 application with C++.

I want to know if there is a way to change the desktop wallpaper programmatically. How can I do it? Is there a Windows API call to do it? Maybe, I only have to override an image file.

With desktop wallpaper I mean the image that we see as background of our desktop, not the one we see when the computer is locked

Thanks.
