Detecting monitor sleep / standby mode
December 25, 2000 09:08 PM
In MS Windows, is there anyway for a Windows App to detect if the monitor has entered sleep / standby mode, or more importantly, is there a way to detect that the monitor has been ''woken'' up?

Catch the WM_SYSCOMMAND message and check wParam. If it''s SC_SCREENSAVE the screensaver is trying to start and if its SC_MONITORPOWER the monitor is trying to enter standby mode. I think you can just return 0 on here if you want to prevent either of these.
