I am trying to detect when the laptop lid opens and closes, should be real simple. I can register that event properly it seems, but then I don't get notification when I close my laptop window.
Here's the DLL Import
(DLL code: http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/user32/registerpowersettingnotification.html )(GUID_LIDCLOSE_ACTION: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tabletandtouch/thread/0bbf90be-9322-47fb-bfa4-016b57211b3a )
[DllImport(@"User32", SetLastError = true, EntryPoint = "RegisterPowerSettingNotification", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]private static extern IntPtr RegisterPowerSettingNotification( IntPtr hRecipient, ref Guid PowerSettingGuid, Int32 Flags);static Guid GUID_LIDCLOSE_ACTION = new Guid(0xBA3E0F4D, 0xB817, 0x4094, 0xA2, 0xD1, 0xD5, 0x63, 0x79, 0xE6, 0xA0, 0xF3);private const int WM_POWERBROADCAST = 0x0218;private const int DEVICE_NOTIFY_WINDOW_HANDLE = 0x00000000;const int PBT_POWERSETTINGCHANGE = 0x8013; // DPPE[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 4)]internal struct POWERBROADCAST_SETTING{ public Guid PowerSetting; public uint DataLength; public byte Data;}
And then here is how I am registering the GUID_LIDCLOSE_ACTION event:
private void registerLidClosedNotification(){ IntPtr hWnd = this.Handle; IntPtr ret = RegisterPowerSettingNotification(hWnd, ref GUID_LIDCLOSE_ACTION, DEVICE_NOTIFY_WINDOW_HANDLE); Debug.WriteLine("Registered: "+ ret.ToString()); Debug.WriteLIne("LastError:"+ Marshal.GetLastWin32Error().ToString());}
Here's the output from that:
Registered: 6867560
LastError:0
Looks good to me.
Then where I'm supposed to recieve the message:
private static IntPtr WndProc(IntPtr hwnd, int msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam, ref bool handled) { Debug.WriteLine("Entered: WndProc"); // we never make it even this far!
So why isn't it making it to the WndProc function if it is registered :[
