Can my Script Detect when I Switch the Screen's(Monitor's) Power Off?

[Zohar]

I hope anyone knows.

I specifically, use a DVI connected screen, digital of course.

It is possible, you probably need to do some dllcalls, I'm gonna do some research

hello chris

after reading the links, it looks like it is not really possible.

especiialy if what we wish to track down is Power On/Off which is done via the Screen's Power Button(and not via code)..

too bad, it could've been a useful event..

thank you very much for your reply
