Hi All,
I did try by myself and I did search on google but I can't find any info on
how to use SystemParameter sInfo Win32API in VB.NET
Any useful samples, hints, tips & tricks will be greatly appreciated!
TIA,
Shamil

First, I suggest to take a look at 'SystemInformat ion'. In addition to
that, you can p/invoke 'SystemParamete rsInfo'
(<URL:http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/user32.SystemPa rametersInfo>).

Thank you, Herfried!
I did check the URL you posted in your answer.
Looks OK but my task is more complicated I think.
I wanted to use SystemInformati on API to get NONCLIENTMETRIC S and logical
fonts information like in VB6 sample here: http://www.activevb.de/tipps/vb6tipps/tipp0211.html
The problem is that I can't make marchaling working OK with NONCLIENTMETRIC S
class/structure.
Marchal.SizeOf( ...) returns wrong size of this structure - 200 instead of
340 and MarchalStructur eToPtr(...) doesn't work well either with
NONCLIENTMETRIC S class/structure I think (I can be wrong)
So, I may need more advanced samples/hints..
System.Windows. Forms.SystemInf ormation misses some info from
NONCLIENTMETRIC S structure....

I did find two solutions: the first one doesn't use marchaling, the second
one does use it.
Solutions are simple - they are published here: http://smsconsulting.spb.ru/.net/tut...vb.net/ncm.htm

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.

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 SystemParametersInfo.. 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.
