VB: Win XP —» Need to Find "Switch User" API
Posted on 2004-08-27
I need to find something to fill in my need of a code snippet which progress the "Switch User" function. In which .dll do I find this function, or how do I imitate the behaviour? I'd like a full statement of how I do use the API if someone finds it.
Mentionable is that I contacted Microsoft's Support, and they were unable to help.
Grateful for a quick answer!

If you press the "Windows key" in combination with the "L" key it will bring up the switch user window. This is how you would do it via code:
Private Declare Sub keybd_event Lib "user32" (ByVal bVk As Byte, ByVal bScan As Byte, ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long)
Private Const KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = &H2
Private Const VK_LWIN = &H5B
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Call keybd_event(VK_LWIN, 0, 0, 0)
Call keybd_event(76, 0, 0, 0) ' 76 = L
Call keybd_event(VK_LWIN, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0)
Call keybd_event(76, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0)
End Sub
Private Declare Sub keybd_event Lib "user32" (ByVal bVk As Byte, ByVal bScan As Byte, ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long)
Private Const KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = &H2
Private Const VK_LWIN = &H5B
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Call keybd_event(VK_LWIN, 0, 0, 0)
Call keybd_event(76, 0, 0, 0) ' 76 = L
Call keybd_event(VK_LWIN, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0)
Call keybd_event(76, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0)
End Sub
