Is there a Windows API call that I use to register for Display timeouts? I
would my app to get notified when the display blanks and when it comes back
on. I would like to know this for XP and Vista.

Thanks,
Priya

Priya,

See if the WM_SYSCOMMAND notifications are what you're looking for.

Hi Priya,

Based on the description, you want to know is there an API to register for
the events on the monitor standby and wake-up. Please correct me if I
misunderstand anything.

Currently, we will perform some research on this problem. We will update
you as soon as we get anything out.

Thanks for your understanding.

Best regards,

Gary Chang
