I've written a simple screensaver that loads a Quartz animation using a QCView. But when I install it on Snow Leopard it appears in the Screen Saver preview with a message saying "You cannot use XXX screensaver on this computer...". If I comment out the loadCompositionFromFile line (but leave the Quartz framework linked) it's fine. I ...
I have a simple screensaver that I've written, which has been deployed to all of our company's client PCs. As most of our PCs have dual monitors, I took care to ensure that the screensaver ran on both displays. This works fine, however on some systems, where the primary screen has been swapped (to the left monitor), the screensaver onl...
Hi, I am working on a C# XNA screensaver kit and so far, everything is in place except for the configuration dialog which must be modal to the Screen Saver Settings dialog provided by windows ("/c:<hwnd>" argument). My benchmark is Vistas builtin 3D Text screensaver - my code shall provide the same features and regarding the configurat...
My Application periodicly shows information on the screen. But if the screenshot is active, the application should wait until the user returns. Is there any way to determine if the screensaver is running? I don't need a clean solution, u just needs to work on windows xp. Similar question, but other technology: http://stackoverflow....
I have an application than disables the screen saver temporarily in order to run a slide show. I use this to turn it on or off: i = SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETSCREENSAVEACTIVE, active, Nothing, SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE) This works fine in XP. In Windows 7, it disables the screen saver properly. However, when it is enabled again, at the ...
Hi, I've written a screen saver in C# but whenever I run it on preview mode or let it kick in, it throws an exception. When I double click it in Windows\System32 it runs fine. With the Visual studio debugger I sussed out that it doesn't read the .config file of the application, which is also in Windows\System32. I think that when rundl...
Hello folks, for my study I wrote a program that solves mazes with depth-first search. Works perfecftly fine. I was wondering, how can I turn this Java-Program into a Screensaver application? Is there a way that windows starts my app when the screensaver would normally be activated? Or is there another simple way to realise a java appli...
I've noticed that the running times of my CUDA kernels are almost tripled the moment the screensaver kicks in. This happens even if it's the blank screensaver. Oddly enough, this appears to have nothing to do with the power settings. When I disable the screen saver and let the screen power off, the performance stays the same. When I set...
I want to receive a notification in my C++ application when a screensaver is about to start. I tried listening to WM_SYSCOMMAND messages with wParam == SC_SCREENSAVE which some people think should do the trick: http://bytes.com/topic/visual-basic-net/answers/349073-know-when-os-goes-into-screen-saver That didn't work. Spy++ even showed t...
I have a working screensaver and would like to figure out how I can control the name Windows displays in the screensaver drop down list. Currently it all seems to be based on the filename but I know that can't be the case. Here's what I've tried and the results: Filename: CC.Votd.scr ScreenSaver Name: Cc Filename: CC Votd.scr ScreenSav...
Ok so Google is not my friend tonight... I have a screen saver, CC.Votd (Full source on Codeplex), and I've just started to implement the preview mode (/p argument) which is working ok. When it's in preview mode I make my form a child to the little computer monitor window and it draws in there. This works fine and my application exits ...
Hy everybody, I have a screensaver made with obj-c and cocoa. Everything works fine under OsX 10.6.2 except the following. Within my screensaver I have a WebView with some application running. When I try to call my objective-c app (the screensaver) via javascript, I get an error and the screensaver and the system preferences panel crash...
I am writing an application in C# that plays a movie. I need to figure out how to disable the screen saver and power options using C#. I know the Windows SDK API has a function called SetThreadExecutionState() which can be used to do this, however, I do not know if there is a better way to do it. If not, how do I incorporate this funct...
So I asked a question with the same title earlier and got an answer that works for the most part. My issue now is that the string table in the Win32 resource file is not working on Windows Server 2003 (maybe others too, limited O/S testing at this point). Testing results: Displays correctly: Windows XP Windows Vista Windows 7 Doesn...
I have been studying NSView and as such I thought I would give a shot at a screen saver. I have been able to display and image in an NSView but I can't seen to modify this example code to display a simple picture in ScreenSaverView. http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.20/20.06/ScreenSaversInCocoa/ BTW great tutorial that works...
Hi, Is there a way to create a window (similar to a screen-saver) that will be displayed once your running application is not 'interacting' (or being idle) with the user, meaning to say, no mouse movements happening on the application. Some of my friends suggested to use a Timer for this one. Any suggestion for a good head start? Thank...
I've successfully disabled the screensaver using the method described in this page. The problem is that when I do this, the control panel dialog still indicates that there is an active screensaver. Nothing seems to be changed there. If the user checks it, he has no way of knowing why the screen saver doesn't work. Is this the expected be...
I have developed a c# winforms application whereby the user is providing input via a midi connected device. The user will go for long periods without using the keyboard or mouse. When I receive a midi message is there anything I can do to "tell" the system that this counts as user activity (ie key press). I don't want the screen saver o...
