Get ScreenSaver status

[dickep]

I have searched here and found a lot to do with screensavers and making them, some for setting the activation on/off. What I need to know is how to use the User32.dll to GET the current state of the screensaver (active or not).

After that, I probably will have the deactivation figured out. Just not sure how to call the dll to get the data.

Thanks

There's some exposed user32 functions here for getting the screen saver state-

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/ScreenSaverControl.aspx.

To SET which screen saver is used though is just registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\SCRNSAVE.EXE (not sure if that's what you mean by de/activate)

Func _IsScreenSaverAcrtive()

    Local $Ret = DllCall('user32.dll', 'int', 'SystemParametersInfo', 'uint', $SPI_GETSCREENSAVERRUNNING, 'uint', 0, 'int*', 0, 'uint', 0)

    If (@error) Or ($Ret[0] = 0) Then
        Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    EndIf
    Return $Ret[3]
EndFunc   ;==>_IsScreenSaverAcrtive

We are discussing here AutoIt (I think).
