Can I make windows Hibernate from VB? 1

[lbaker78]

Hi All,

I am writing a very simple app that will shut my laptop down when the power is unplugged. I am using the Sysinfo Active X control v6 to monitor the status every 10 secs via a timer, but I want the laptop to enter Hibernate instead of shutdown (shell"shutdown -s") but can't seem to find a way to call the hibernate procedure... Any ideas?

TIA!

Try this.

[tt]Shell "rundll32 powrprof,SetSuspendState"[/tt]

Genius! Works a treat, thanks Hypetia.

lbaker78, did you know that you could use the Private Sub Sysinfo_PowerStatusChanged() instead of using a timer?
