Hi I'm a beginner to this API stuff and need sum help.

I need 2 write text on the desktop. Will this API do ?

Public Declare Function TextOut Lib "gdi32" Alias "TextOutA" (ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal lpString As String, ByVal nCount As Long) As Long


If yes, then how do I retreive the hdc of the dektop ?
