# 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::<DesktopEvent>();
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();
}
```
