API to turn off screen saver?

[jsteph]

Hello,
How do I turn off a screen saver or dpms monitor-shutoff via code? Is there an api to do this? Thanks,

Hmmm
Do you want to turn of the screen-saver permenently??
If so, try the registry

No, I need to turn it of and show the screen via a trigger in code. I have a barcode app which sits idle for many hours. When a user swipes his card, I want the screen to show. So in the OnComm event, I want to call some api to mimmick an mouse event or kb event. I'm wary of using SendKeys(), since the cursor could be over something that I don't want whatever key to be entered in. Thanks for any info...
