SystemParameter sInfo doesn't work in vc.net !!

hi, all.
In my computer(window s2000 professional), I found this code doesn't
work!
SystemParameter sInfo(0x2000/*SPI_GETFOREGRO UNDLOCKTIMEOUT*/,0,&dwTimeOut,0 ))
;

The value of dwTimeOut always equals to Zero.But the same code in VC++
6.0 works well! Why ?? What things I should do for query the right value in
vc.net?? Thanks for any help!

This is an OS API function, the choice of compiler has no bearing on
this code. Therefore I don't see how this is a VC6 vs .Net compiler
issue. Are the machine's different?

I'm using a SystemParametersInfo call to attempt to manage the screen saver. All I want to do is modify the ScreenSaveActive bit in the registry and have the OS recognize it (and occasionally set it back to -0-). Theoretically this should be easy to accomplish through the call shown below. If I trace the call with SysInternals (si)Registry Monitor I can see the call being made. Unfortunately in the si QueryValue for the key...

(Followups set to comp.std.c. Apologies if the crosspost is unwelcome.) strchr() is to strrchr() as strstr() is to strrstr(), but strrstr() isn't part of the standard.

I need to disable the screen saver, due to an Excel "bug". I thought I had the following code working, but now all I get is code 127. I've searched the net and I don't see anything wrong with the following. public static extern int SystemParametersInfo(int uiAction, int uiParam, string pvParam, int fuWinIni);

I need the csharp (C#) function for this API function: SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA, 0, &rc, 0); Or must I pInvoke this (also)? My biggest problem with C# is to find the C# function for API functions? Is there any help for this available anywhere?

Hello, I want to change the keyboard language. Does anyone have an example code in VB6 for that? I know already from MSDN that it should be possible with the SystemParametersInfo and the SPI_SETDEFAULTINPUTLANG and you have to use the HKL. But I really do not understand how to do that. I would be very grateful for help! BigWilli

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