I want to retrive this value: $lciPower_On . It shows whether the monitor is on or off.

Global  $lciWM_SYSCommand
Global  $lciSC_MonitorPower
Global  $lciPower_On

Global $Progman_hwnd = WinGetHandle('[CLASS:Progman]')

    DllCall('user32.dll', 'int', 'ReadMessage', _
            'hwnd', $Progman_hwnd, _
            'int', $lciWM_SYSCommand, _
            'int', $lciSC_MonitorPower, _
            'int', $lciPower_On)

ConsoleWrite($lciPower_On & @CRLF)

EDIT This is not solvable.:

I don't think there is a reliable way to do this, AutoIt or not. I've searched all over.

There is a function called GetDevicePowerState in Kernel32.dll, but it says "This function cannot be used to query the power state of a display device.":

I don't see ReadMessage anywhere on MSDN for user32.dll.

Or is that just me?

I do not know what will happen if I will change the readmessage to sendmessage maybe it will erase all previous data. Im scared.

So it is not possible to retrive $lciPower_On state? really?

What are you talking about ? There is no such export in user32.dll ! Where did you see this ReadMessage ?

ReadMessage -I thought if there is a sendmessage, maybe there is also a readmessage.

I want to know if my monitor is turned on or off.

I dont think this code is any use at all, no mater whether the monitor is turned on or off it always outputs following message: :)

Plug and Play Monitor
Moniter Name = Plug and Play Monitor
Moniter State = 3
Moniter State Meaning: 
    - Running or Full Power
Plug and Play Monitor
Default Monitor
Moniter Name = Default Monitor
Moniter State = 8
Moniter State Meaning: 
    - Running or Full Power
    - Off Line

PS: I don't think there is a reliable way to do this, AutoIt or not. I've searched all over. is what one of the MVP said.

Stupid windows.... :)

How can windows detect if the monitor is turned on or off ?

Next, you'll make a thread about detecting if the speakers are turned on and on which volume.

This is MADNESS !!! lol

You can turn on & off monitor with short autoit dllcall, then it would be natural to assume, that there is a way to check if monitor is on or off. But it seems, it is not possible.
