Hi all,
I'm still working on my Caller ID software. As it sits in the traybar
and basically does nothing, after a few minutes the screen saver kicks
in and it still works, but I have to go move the mouse or something to
actually see what's being displayed.
Is there a way I can force the screen saver to stop while my program
pops up its window? And later resume it normally (with it's default
timeout, I don't care)
Also, how do I hide my app from the alt-tab list? It doesn't show in the
task bar but if I do alt-tab and accidentaly select it, a nasty blank
window opens and I can't make it go away.

What would you do when a password is required to cancel the screensaver?
Wouldn't it just prompt you for the password and not show your window.
Perhaps you should develop a screensaver that displays the details you
want to see. It would be less instrusive.

Nothing. This app is for me, and I don't use a password with the
screensaver.

What if the screen is in power-save already? It wouldn't even display
the screensaver. That's why I wanted to do it that way. Besides I need
it to display the info while I'm working too, and having two different
windows for the same output... that's kind of too much work for a
weekend app.
I'm thinking, maybe making the mouse cursor move a little would make the
system to trigger an event which will close the current screen saver -
and maybe if I'm lucky, the power saving function.

Does anyone know if there is a problem with re-enabling the Screen
Saver after it has been disabled programmatically.
I am using the SystemParametersInfo function within User32.dll, and
have been successful in disabling the Screen Saver, but it does not
work for re-enabling. The only way I can re-activate it is to
re-apply the settings through the Display properties in the Control
Panel.

Hi,
Our software runs on a XP system attached to a touch screen monitor and
smartcard USB reader. We run our own simple corporate screen saver.
When the screen is touched the screen saver vanishes, but when a user
inserts a smartcard (we're polling for inserts) the screen saver doesn't
vanish.
Is there any way we can awaken the system and stop the screen saver from
code please?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
