Hi all, I need to call GetSystemPowerState windows api from pythonCE, because I need to know if a windows ce 5 device is in sleep/off status. I can find this api in ctypes.windll.coredll, but I cannot figure out how to pass parameters to this procedure: msdn giude ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms899319.aspx ) speaks about 3 parameters, of wich 2 are output: a "LPWSTR pBuffer" and a "PDWORD pFlags". Returned value of the call is an exit status code rappresenting if call succeded or failed.
I tried to call this api in several ways, but obtained always exit code 87 (meaning that parameters are wrong) or 122 (meaning "pBuffer" variable is too small, in this case I passed None as pBuffer, since I'm interested only in pFlags result). Have you any idea? Maybe another api or way to perform this simple task? Thank you all, Lorenzo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
