Zohar Posted August 4, 2012 Author Posted August 4, 2012 Does your monitor have speakers on it? Otherwise I don't see how it's power state would affect the sounds playing.The Difference in behavior will be in my code.
BrewManNH Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 You're not making any sense. You said if your monitor is off then it won't play alerts, not that if the monitor is of you don't want it to play any sounds. I think you need to break out Notepad, start writing exactly what it is that is the problem, what you intend it to do that it's not doing, what exactly isn't working as intended, what you've already tried and most importantly how you want us to help. Because currently, you are all over the place as far as what you're looking to do and your explanations are one line nonsense that doesn't help at all in figuring out what it is you're trying to do. Help us help you by being clearer. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Zohar Posted August 7, 2012 Author Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) You're not making any sense. You said if your monitor is off then it won't play alertsNo that's not what I said..Allow me to quote myself:It could've been extremely useful to detect when the screen is off.I wanted to use it, for differentiating the behavior of my personal script, based on the screen's power state.For example,Some Alerts that I have for important events(using Sound), will not go off if the screen is off.The differentiation of the behavior of the script, will be done by me - in the code,not by the screen.The screen will only tell me if it's On or Off.I will then, in code, choose a different behavior according to it's Power State - On or Off.

Zohar Posted August 7, 2012 Author Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) This is false, there's a data link in every standard connection i know about. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_data_channel@opTake a look at this:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd162609(v=vs.85).aspxor createfile, to see if the driver is available. Not totally sure if this is possible but im pretty sure. Hi ShaggiYes, this Data Link is what I based my hopes on.Very surprising Windows doesn't really get the data successfully.(as said before, the Availability field, which contains sme useful flags, always retruns a value of 3 unfortunately, whether the Screen is On or Off) Edited August 7, 2012 by Zohar
