SystemParameter sInfo questions

2 New Member
Hi all,

I am trying to look high and low on this issue. I know that we can use DeviceInfo to get the UUID, however, I was also trying to get the UUID using SystemParameter sInfo.. I get 1439 Win39Error. I dont know what is wrong with it as the documentation in MSDN on this is only one line.

Can anyone point out what is wrong with this line? Thanks.

byte[] UUID = new byte[16];
const uint SPI_GETUUID = 263;

SystemParameter sInfo(SPI_GETUU ID, 0, ref UUID, 0);

Cheers,
Desmond

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'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 "<=>". 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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
