"Show Desktop" event

[12jumper]

Does anybody know, what message is being sent to the window(s) when one
clicks "Show Desktop" button (the one on windows taskbar ;) )? I'd like
to capture such a message to set some variables.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Why would you possibly want to know when a user shows the desktop? What
are you ultimately trying to do?

When I click application icon in system tray, I'd like to check it's
state (minimized, normal) and perform appropriate action. When
application is maximized and one clicks "Show Desktop", application's
state isn't changed (it's still "Normal") so it's a bit confusing.
That's why I'd lkie to know when somebody clicks this button.

Yes, I was sure it will change to minimized and was surprised it
doesn't :).
