I'm trying to use SenMessage() to turn the display on or off under program
control of a console application. I got the function to work, and it
turns off the display, but then the program just hangs.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Here's my sample program
Program Displaycontrol;
Uses Windows;
Begin
Writeln('Turning Off Display');
SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, 2);
//This seems to work, turning off my display
Writeln('Display is Off'); // This Writeln never
happens. I need to force terminate the program.
sleep(10000);
Writeln('Turning On Display');
SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, -1);
Writeln('Display is On');
End.
James
