How to go to standby and come back

[shelly73]

Hi!
I am going to standby using the API SetSuspendState and setting a timer for 30 seconds. after the timer fires, the system starts but the monior does not. The monitor starts when a key is pressed. I want to make it automatic. Can someone please tell me what can be done to wake up the monitor?

Thanks!
Shelly.

Try using SetThreadExecutionState to set the state to ES_DISPLAYREQUIRED. Make sure you specify only display required and nothing else. This can be put in the code where the system wakes up, like after the WaitForSingleObject etc.

Hope this helps...
