Hello
Does anybody know how to turn ON and OFF monitor through APIs or any other methods?
Thank you.

send a WM_SYSCOMMAND to your main hwnd with SC_MONITORPOWER as wParam and 2 in lParam (-1 to power back on I think)

Doesn't work on 2000/XP :(
We tested on 2000/XP machine and no results, but both Win98 machines worked perfectly with that method.

it depends. I know it works on my machine but it has never worked on the k62 we have here, I think it's a chipset issue :/

and don't rely on MS to spill any beans or give actual useful info, if you're lucky you'll get the functionality in some .NET class
