Hi David, that would not work, because the display does need to
sleep, it would be working a long time, and at night.... but
needs to let people know that it is done. i have an alarm go off,
but people can know it has gone off much better from a distance if
suddenly the room is filled with light from the display waking up.
surely there is a method for this? wouldn't there be?
I don't know, and haven't tried, but what happens if you call:
UpdateSystemActivity(UsrActivity);
I'm not sure if it's more correct to pass the OverallAct instead of
UsrActivity since in this case there actually isn't any specific user
activity.... Does anyone know how the arguments are interpreted?
Given what you're trying to do, it would seem that UpdateSystemActivity
() is going to do what you want however, I stand by what I said
before, if the user has set their security settings to require a
password then this call will cause the password screen to showup.
After a short time of no password being entered, the screen will go
back to sleep (At least it did for the test app that I wrote using
10.6.1 to check this out). That might be enough for you, I don't know.
Good luck with it!
