wraithdu Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) NOTE: supported on Vista+ This is a demo on monitoring the state of a laptop's lid. Notice how you can't make a laptop lock when you close the lid? Here's one solution: expandcollapse popupGlobal Const $WM_POWERBROADCAST = 0x0218 ; GUID_LIDSWITCH_STATE_CHANGE GUID ; 0xBA3E0F4D, 0xB817, 0x4094, 0xA2, 0xD1, 0xD5, 0x63, 0x79, 0xE6, 0xA0, 0xF3 Global Const $GUID_LIDSWITCH_STATE_CHANGE = DllStructCreate("byte[16]") DllStructSetData($GUID_LIDSWITCH_STATE_CHANGE, 1, Binary("0x4D0F3EBA17B89440A2D1D56379E6A0F3")) ; create gui and register notification Global $GUI = GUICreate("") GUIRegisterMsg($WM_POWERBROADCAST, "__WM_POWER") Global $hPower = DllCall("user32.dll", "handle", "RegisterPowerSettingNotification", "handle", $GUI, "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($GUID_LIDSWITCH_STATE_CHANGE), "dword", 0) GUISetState() Do Until GUIGetMsg() = -3 ; unregister notification DllCall("user32.dll", "bool", "UnregisterPowerSettingNotification", "handle", $hPower[0]) Func __WM_POWER($hwnd, $msg, $wparam, $lparam) #forceref $hwnd Local Const $PBT_POWERSETTINGCHANGE = 0x8013 ; Data member is variable depending on notification ; the size of the Data member is returned in DataLength Local Const $POWERBROADCAST_SETTING = "byte[16];dword DataLength;byte Data" Switch $msg Case $WM_POWERBROADCAST Switch $wparam Case $PBT_POWERSETTINGCHANGE Local $PBT_PSC = DllStructCreate($POWERBROADCAST_SETTING, $lparam) ; GUID of registered notification is the first member of the structure Switch DllStructGetData($PBT_PSC, 1) Case DllStructGetData($GUID_LIDSWITCH_STATE_CHANGE, 1) ; for this notification, Data is an int representing the lid state Local $data = DllStructCreate("int", DllStructGetPtr($PBT_PSC, "Data")) _LidStateChange(DllStructGetData($data, 1)) ; Return 1 EndSwitch EndSwitch EndSwitch Return "GUI_RUNDEFMSG" EndFunc Func _LidStateChange($iState) Static $iPrevious = -1 If $iPrevious = -1 Then ; first fire, current state $iPrevious = $iState Return ElseIf $iPrevious = $iState Then Return Else $iPrevious = $iState EndIf ; lid state: ; 0 -> closed ; 1 -> open Switch $iState Case 0 ConsoleWrite("lid closed" & @CRLF) DllCall("user32.dll", "bool", "LockWorkStation") Case 1 ConsoleWrite("lid opened" & @CRLF) EndSwitch EndFunc Edited May 24, 2011 by wraithdu WarMan 1

MilesAhead Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) I'm om Windows 8. I run the demo and get no output. I set my Laptop lid close action to "do nothing" but I get no console output at all from the demo when I close and open the lid. Edited December 7, 2013 by MilesAhead My Freeware Page
MilesAhead Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 But the lid does lock.. so it works. I'll have to look it over more. I'm searching for a lid locker for someone on another forum and found this thread. Very cool. I've found a lot of threads where it's been attempted but not achieved. My Freeware Page
wraithdu Posted December 7, 2013 Author Posted December 7, 2013 How are you running the script and where are you expecting console output? I just tested on Win 8.1 and I get the proper SciTE output in the console and the laptop locks when closing the lid.

I just tested on Win 8.1 and I get the proper SciTE output in the console and the laptop locks when closing the lid. I tried running in Scite. The lock worked but no text output. I tried from a command prompt with compiled version. Same thing I'm on Windows 8 pre SP. Maybe that's the difference. My Freeware Page
BrewManNH Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 Are you running it using #RequireAdmin?

wraithdu Posted December 7, 2013 Author Posted December 7, 2013 I was not, but I see your point in asking. @MilesAhead If you're using #RequireAdmin then SciTE cannot capture the console output. Further, you must compile the script as a console application if you want command prompt to show you console output. Use #pragma compile(Console, true)
MilesAhead Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Are you running it using #RequireAdmin? No. I just pasted the script in Scite and saved it to an .au3 file. Edit: Ok. I added that (#requireadmin I mean) and it works. Edit2: I just got this Laptop. Seems in W8 everything has to be run as admin. I can't even save a file in Scite without it. pita.

wraithdu Posted December 7, 2013 Author Posted December 7, 2013 I find that strange. I'm not running with any elevation on 8.1, script or compiled version, from desktop. No issues.
MilesAhead Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 Hopefully they responded to user complaints? As far as I remember on W7 I turned UAC either off or to the lowest setting and that was that. This W8 I can't even save a file in any of the Program Files trees without run as admin.. even with UAC all the way down on the slider. It's really annoying. My Freeware Page
BrewManNH Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 I believe if you run SciTE as an admin, then you won't need to use it in your scripts for testing.

tonycst Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Win7 X64 AutoIt Version: 3.3.12.0 Script does not work for me. Shows blank GUI and thats it. Nothing in the console.
