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.

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...

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 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 "<=>".
