| Feb 18, 2016 at 3:00 | comment | added | Jonathan Gilbert | Could it be an integrity level issue? If you're running as a low-integrity process, then the system will prevent your window messages from reaching high-integrity processes, I think... | |
| Apr 25, 2010 at 19:35 | comment | added | Paya | I've tried hooking windows messages, and it looks like the system is sending WM_WININICHANGE message. But for some weird reason, if I send that message to explorer windows, they just ignore it. | |
| Apr 3, 2010 at 1:01 | comment | added | ultrafez | Now I think about it, you could just hook the window when you switch hidden files on. Then you'd get the exact API call... | |
| Apr 2, 2010 at 23:37 | comment | added | Paya | I guess it probably calls SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED, SHCNF_IDLIST, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero);, but that doesn't refresh Hidden files, I guess (haven't tried). | |
