Hi, I'm trying to turn off my monitor, pause and then turn it on again. I'm doing this in python 2.6 and windows xp. Here is my script so far (that doesn't work):
import time import win32gui import win32con import win32api def turnOffMonitor(): SC_MONITORPOWER = 0xF170 win32gui.SendMessage(win32con.HWND_BROADCAST, win32con.WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, 2) def turnOnMonitor(): SC_MONITORPOWER = 0xF170 win32gui.SendMessage(win32con.HWND_BROADCAST, win32con.WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, -1) if __name__ == "__main__": turnOffMonitor() time.sleep(5) turnOnMonitor() For some reason, the script doesn't turn the monitor back on. What am I doing wrong here or are there any other alternative? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
