How to turn screensaver on (windows 7) by a code (in cmd)?
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
public static class LockDesktop
{
[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "GetDesktopWindow")]
private static extern IntPtr GetDesktopWindow();
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, uint Msg, int wParam, int lParam);
private const int SC_SCREENSAVE = 0xF140;
private const int WM_SYSCOMMAND = 0x0112;
public static void SetScreenSaverRunning()
{
SendMessage(GetDesktopWindow(), WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_SCREENSAVE, 0);
}
public static void Main()
{
LockDesktop.SetScreenSaverRunning();
}
}
This works - only downside is that u cant interact with pc for something like 7 sec, but i guess its 7's to give ppl time before making screensaver 'permanent'.
