Hi all ! :)
I am trying to find a way to return the battery level of a notebook or
laptop or any mobile device (but to make it simple a laptop would be
fine).
I am trying to do this because I'm building for a project a small part
of an interface for a computational grid that would accommodate in
adition to the usual devices, wireless ones too.
( So I'm trying to measure what a device will be able to offer to the
Grid ... the next step will be to measure what applications are
running on a device and so on. )
I am doing this with Java on two computers, a desktop PC with Windows
2000 and a laptop with Windows XP.
Although I have not entirely given up on Java yet, there is no command
to get me what I want so the only way to do it would be through Java
Native Interface. That is I will have to do it in C or C++.
I would be most grateful if you could suggest anyway at all to get the
battery level in Java, C or C++ or maybe using any J2ME or JINI
libraries.
Thanks !

Just include the standard header <battery>.
Seriously, this issue is not addressed in standard C++, so ask
elsewhere.

OT, you should ask in a OS-related newsgroup (btw, are u using Win or
Linux?)

Seriously I didn't know !
Also I didn't understand what you mean by standard header <battery>
.... would that be the title of the message ?
I guess I did find out something by asking here though , so thank you

That is a thin attempt at humor:
#include <battery>
There is no such header.
You get the abuse because this newsgroup works best on platform-neutral C++
issues. Technical newsgroups should always focus closely on one topic, for
best results. Use http://groups.google.com to search for the best newsgroup
for your question - but you run the risk of finding the answer there too!
Whatever answer they give will be compatible with C++ - somehow...

Thank you very very much for your reply!
I will post my message to a Windows related newsgroup. I have looked
at those newsgroups and they mostly have posts about operating system
problems instead of programming issues and this is what led me to post
here since I am looking for the c command. btw, are u using Win or Linux?
I am using a computer with Windows 2000 and one with XP , everything
I've done so far works perfectly well on both of them.
Also I do know the command that will do it for linux and it is
something like "cat /proc/apm" but the trick is to make it multi
platform :).
What I am planning is to check the environment variable for os name
and then act accordingly. So now it is down to the windows bit I am
afraid.
Thanks a lot for all your help anyway :) ,
Maria
Thank you for your reply too :)
I have tried and searched a lot and have not found the answer... I am not
simply looking for a C or C++ command but for the whole program because I
am programming in Java and not in C.
The above is something that unfortunately I have not yet found not even in
Google.
Also I though there would be no harm in asking.
Thanks again,
Maria

I got a lot of articles by using Google and the terms
"Windows" "API" "Battery".

Thank you but I am not looking for a command that I can get from windows
API, I have that already ... I am looking for a method or procedure ... I
don't
know c .. I am only using Java... it's just the only solution I can thing of
right now.
Thank you for taking the time to reply really ...but please don't suggest
that I don't know how to search google.
Besides I don't think there is no harm in asking ... although I do admit I
should have added an "off topic" term in my subject, which I did not think
of .. before sending the post.
Sorry..

Hey guys
When you hook an event (c# 2.0 syntax): myEvent += MyMethodToFire;
You need to also unsubscribe it to avoid a resource leak so that the object
it is in gets garbage collected like so : myEvent -= MyMethodToFire;
That's all fine, but when you use visual studio to create events for objects
it never creates an unsubscribing reference, so is it puting in resource
leaks? Or is this being cleared somewhere that i am not seeing?

Hi all,
Sorry this is a bit off-topic... but I do write a good amount of C code on
my laptop so there is a link...
Basically, it's a question about laptop batteries. About ten days ago, I
switched off my laptop with the battery fully charged. I haven't touched
it since then. This morning I turned it on, and the battery was
practically empty.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
