View 10 RepliesI need something that will log the time the computer came out of standby, or the user logs in the first time from a reboot.
Basically, I want to time computer usage but in simple terms where computer is being used after waking or after rebooting.
So, All I need is a detection scheme. Does windows provide that? I am probably targeting .NET but can do Win32 API. Or do I have to do anything like that all?
I am thinking if I make a service, windows will handle the launching of the service and that way I can detect usage. But is that the most efficient way?
I am using XP Pro and Visual Studio 2005
there are two ways windows standby the computer by itself, close the lid and if the computer is not being used for XX minutes. however, there is a difference, when i open the lid the computer goes out of standby automatically but only if it was caused by closing the lid, but the other does not. so how do i use the lid-standby in VB? [code] and the device in manager "ACPI Lid" has no wake up options, like i have with some keyboards and mice.. so what is the difference, and how do i cause the computer to wake when i open the lid after the standby is initiated?

Title pretty much says it all. Does anyone know a way to to prevent a computer from entering a low/non-processing mode while the program is running? I don't care about monitor modes, screen-savers, hard-drive spindown, etc (in fact, I'd prefer to leave those alone; I like it that it shuts the monitor off after a time period).Basically, I have an industrial program that needs to continually monitor a PCI card it uses for IO; and this activity alone isn't enough to convince Windows not to go into Sleep mode. We normally just shut the power-save features off, but we had an incident where a technician forgot, a customer's machine went to Sleep after the end of the shift, the pumps stopped recirculating, yadda-yadda big mess.

I am trying to use appactivate to bring a window to the foreground however this is not working. When the program is already open on the desktop and there are other windows on top of it and I use AppActivate then it brings that window into the foreground. However if that window is minimized to the windows bar below, then the only thing appactivate does is have that program selected but it does not bring it into the foreground. I need to have any window forced to the foreground while retaining its original size.

View 3 Repliesim looking for a way to bring a form into second "z" position. wow this question is hard to ask. in other words i have two windows one that is a main editing window and a second one that is behind that one. the reason for this is that the first is partially clear with extended windows aero glass and the window behind offers a purely for design aspect to it. the probem is that when you have multiple windows open such as a webbrowser and my program (for you multitaskers) when the webbrowser window comes to focus as the top window then you click on my window and it becomes top window the webbrowser is now stuck in between my windows. so is there a code to make all other windows on you desktop be sent to the back except for a certin one. or a code to bring a window to the second "z" possition as in not the front but back one?
