is there is any way to turn off the screen programatically?

[Guest eharshosh@gmail.com]

Hi,

i'm developing a software for windows xp that will have an option to

turn off the monitor

i found one way to do that by changing the refresh rate of the monitor

to unsupported refresh rate,

but this way is not good because some monitor supports this mode and

some not.

i sure that there is another way because in windows there is an option

to turn off the monitor after x minutes,

so what is the API for this operation?

In Google, this string

http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=winxp+api+turn+off+monitor&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

finds this result.

Good luck.
