Standby (WM_POWERBROADCAST) Hooking

[g_BonE]

hi folks:

this i what im currently using to check standby messages from windows and react on them:

...i could use some guide on optimizing this baby and also maybe some of you API gods might help on how i could send the BROADCAST_QUERY_DENY message instead of using SetThreadExecutionState if it's feasible? Also if someone can show me how i can react on System booting and shutting down events ?

Thanks in advance...

what... nobody ? and i thought its such a nice example of what can be done with autoit

To get the info that system is rebooting i now use a OnAutoItExit() function and look at the @ExitMethod to be equal to 4.

Func OnAutoItExit()
    Switch @EXITMETHOD
        Case 1
            WriteToLog($g_szVersion&" exited by Close...")
        Case 2
            WriteToLog($g_szVersion&" exited by SysTray...")
        Case 3
            WriteToLog($g_szVersion&" exited by LogOff...")
        Case 4
            WriteToLog($g_szVersion&" exited by Reboot...")
            WriteToLog("Rebooting system...")
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

Just to bump this one up once more... i'm still looking for a way to send the BROADCAST_QUERY_DENY message via API. Anyone ?!?

How to prevent from the suspend message?

Just return the $BROADCAST_QUERY_DENY value.

Global Const $WM_POWERBROADCAST    = 0x0218
Global Const $PBT_APMQUERYSUSPEND  = 0x0000
Global Const $BROADCAST_QUERY_DENY = 0x424D5144

HotKeySet("{Pause}", "_Exit")

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test GUI")

$TestButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 60, 37, 75, 23)

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_POWERBROADCAST, "WM_POWERBROADCAST")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func WM_POWERBROADCAST($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam)
    Switch $wParam
        Case $PBT_APMQUERYSUSPEND
            Return $BROADCAST_QUERY_DENY
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

The first bit of code is really useful thanks. Follow ups are good also. I'm interested in making an energy usage measuring tool. Happy to post anything useful anyone already working on such a project?

[g_BonE]

thanks rasim, that was exactly what i'd been looking for. where did you get the hex number for $BROADCAST_QUERY_DENY = 0x424D5144 from ?

[passkalilo]

Very Thanks ,this is what i needed

@rasim

does this work too for pushing the powerbutton, or only for system-powersaving-events?

if someone pushes the powerbutton 4 seconds, its not preventable, right? (because a bios-routine is called)

Are you trying to be funny or something? Someone who was last seen 2 years ago is not going to answer.

oh :-O

maybe, someone other knows the answer? possibly you?

[AdmiralAlkex]

I agree that the 4 second thing is probably done by the motherboard somehow.

Don't know about a shirt press, why don't you try?

PS See when someone was last on line on the left side of their profile (click their name)

[Raik]

short press on powerbutton will trigger shutdown (depends on the settings). this i may supress.

only the long press i probatly can't.
