Script For Monitor

[Evil_Has_Survived]

I was wondering if there is a command for the monitor instead of manually shutting off and on.

you guys maybe wondering why I would need this command, it's because im making a program that controls everything, and plus I broke my monitor reasonly and I have to use a pen to turn it on and off lol, but im getting a new monitor soon

#include <Misc.au3>
Const $WM_SYSCommand = 274, $SC_MonitorPower = 61808, $Power_On = -1, $Power_Off = 2
$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")
$HWND = WinGetHandle(WinGetTitle("", ""))
DllCall($dll, "int", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $HWND, "int", $WM_SYSCommand, "int", $SC_MonitorPower, "int", $Power_Off)

When I move a mouse or click a button the monitor turns on again - How can I make it off PERMANTLY till I click a set of hotkeys?

One way; but it might cause your script to not fully work....

EDIT: BlockInput might not fully work this way after all.... There is sometimes a setting in the device manager for the mice and keyboard giving you an option of whether those devices can bring your computer out of standby. My keyboard is set to bring comptuer out of standby, but my mouse is not. If I use BlockInput, I can move the mouse without making the monitor turn back on; but pressing any key turns on the monitor.

Running, XP Pro sp2 by the way.

; Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to reactivate

#include <Misc.au3>
Const $WM_SYSCommand = 274, $SC_MonitorPower = 61808, $Power_On = -1, $Power_Off = 2
$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")
$HWND = WinGetHandle(WinGetTitle("", ""))
DllCall($dll, "int", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $HWND, "int", $WM_SYSCommand, "int", $SC_MonitorPower, "int", $Power_Off)

BlockInput(1)
While 1
   sleep(100)
