My friends

Just to ask how I can turn off just the second monitor. (I need the main monitor not to turn off)

Push the power button?

.. or is your question about something else?

Unless I don't understand what turn off monitor means, my example (read the entire post) does toggle monitor on/off (look at 0xD6 vcp code)...

Hi my friend,

 

Your information is very god, but i cant turn off only the second monitor with autoit code.

I don't know how to modify the code you sent me to turn off only the second monitor

[Nine]

Sorry I will not write the code for you.  You will never learn how to program in AutoIt if all you want is already written code that fits your requirements.  We are here to teach how to fish, not to give you fish.

You will have to make an effort and post the code you have tried that does not work.  Everything you need is inside the example I showed you.

ps. Do not reproduce the same code as I gave you, I will simply ignore your post.

I have a similar situation but I am using just the secondary monitor and I use displayswitch. If you are on Win 11 (probably available on other OSs) then you can use this:

ShellExecute('DisplaySwitch.exe', '/internal', @WindowsDir & '\Sysnative', Default, @SW_HIDE)

This will turn on primary display and turn off all other displays.  You have here the full syntax:

Quote

Syntax
      DISPLAYSWITCH /Option

Options

       /internal    Switch to use the primary display only.
       1            All other connected displays will be disabled. 

       /clone       The primary display will be mirrored on a second screen.
       2        

       /extend      Expand the Desktop to a secondary display.
       3            This allows one desktop to span multiple displays. (Default).

       /external    Switch to the external display only (second screen).
       4            The current main display will be disabled.

Thanks a lot my friend.

 

When i put your code the windows display this new windows with this options.

probably my requirement is much more technical.

Thanks a lot but the second monitor is not offline

It's nothing technical, it looks like the application start without being aware of the passed argument. Try using numerical arguments (see the previous post).

Ok my friend.

Years ago, I made a program with Autoit3 to turn off the monitors of any PC I was connected to remotely, Autoit3 can turn off any one or more monitors on a PC natively with no third-party solution needed although, if I recall correctly, it will need to be run as administrator. I recommend this post to get started.

thanks a lot to all people that help me
