Screen Flicker

[BobiusMaximus]

Is there a way to make the screen go black for a second with autoit and then come back on?

If there is, please enlighten me as to how

Unplug the monitor's power cord and then plug it back in )) This should do it

[BobiusMaximus]

With autoit

Create a big black gui and put a little sleep

Create a big black gui and put a little sleep

So there is no function that does it?

[Kreatorul]

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

$width = Width of your screen

$height = Height of your screen

GuiCreate("black screen", $width, $height, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP)

GuiSetState()

GuiSetBkColor(000000)

Sleep(1000)

[BobiusMaximus]

What if you want to include it in a program, so to come up, then go away, how would you do that?

[Kreatorul]

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

Func GoBlack()

$width = Width of your screen

$height = Height of your screen

GuiCreate("black screen", $width, $height, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP)

GuiSetState()

GuiSetBkColor(000000)

Sleep(1000)

EndFunc

And just call the function when you want

[BobiusMaximus]

I'm getting confused here, how do you call a function?

-Bob

Edit: Well, I know how to call a function with a hot key, but I just want it to happen during the program.

Edit 2: Actually, I have an idea.

Edit 3: How Do I close it so I can call it again if I want?

There is something called helpfile but

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

MsgBox(0, "Func", "Now I'm gonna call a function")

GoBlack()

MsgBox(0, "End", "I called a function")

Func GoBlack()
$width = Width of your screen
$height = Height of your screen
GuiCreate("black screen", $width, $height, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP)
GuiSetState()
GuiSetBkColor(000000)
Sleep(1000)
EndFunc

Ok,

put this at the top of your script:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
Global $DllHWND = WinGetHandle("classname=Progman")oÝ÷ Ù8Z¶¬¶(jÛazÚ)N§Êj{¬zØb²Ú-º¹â¶ßjëh×6DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $DllHWND, "int", 274, "int", 61808, "int", 2)

that's wierd...it works every time in office poltergeist...although of course they use variables, but that should make no difference...

here is the func directly from office poltergeist:

func screenFlicker()
  Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
  $WM_SYSCommand = 274
  $SC_MonitorPower = 61808
  $Power_On = -1
  $Power_Off = 2
  $X = 1
  $HWND = WinGetHandle("classname=Progman")
  DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $HWND, "int", $WM_SYSCommand, "int", $SC_MonitorPower, "int", $Power_Off)
  DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $HWND, "int", $WM_SYSCommand, "int", $SC_MonitorPower, "int", $Power_On)
endFunc

[daslick]

or you could use

ON =

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SendMessage", "hwnd", WinGetHandle("classname=Progman"), "int", 274, "int", 61808, "int", 2)

OFF =

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SendMessage", "hwnd", WinGetHandle("classname=Progman"), "int", 274, "int", 61808, "int", -1)
