Hi,

Can my Visual C++ app detect that the screensaver has started running ? I'm trying the CMainFrame::OnActivateApp function, but it picks up any new app. Are there specific parameters to get it to pick up only the screensaver?

Thanks,

Detecting a running SS is different for various platforms of windows where versions does your app run on?

Hi William,

Thanks, I'm currently on Win XP, but I need my app to run on 95, 98, ME if possible. Probably not Win 2000, yet. But if I can cater for it I should...

Ok,

Here is the code that will detect SS on 98 and NT. I'll paste the CPP file in another message and then the header.

I hope it's of use to you.
