# winvd - Windows 11 virtual desktop bindings for Rust

The implementation abstracts the annoying COM API into simple functions.

https://crates.io/crates/winvd

https://github.com/ciantic/VirtualDesktopAccessor/tree/rust/

### Example

```rust

use winvd::{switch_desktop, get_desktop_count, DesktopEvent, listen_desktop_events};

fn main() {

    // Desktop count

    println!("Desktops: {:?}", get_desktop_count().unwrap());

    // Go to second desktop, index = 1

    switch_desktop(1).unwrap();

    // To listen for changes, use crossbeam, mpsc or winit proxy as a sender

    let (tx, rx) = std::sync::mpsc::channel::();

    let _notifications_thread = listen_desktop_events(tx);

    // Keep the _notifications_thread alive for as long as you wish to listen changes

    std::thread::spawn(|| {

        for item in rx {

            println!("{:?}", item);

        }

    });

    // Wait for keypress

    println!("⛔ Press enter to stop");

    let mut input = String::new();

    std::io::stdin().read_line(&mut input).unwrap();

}

```
