I want to get notifications of various System Events in my C# app (Shut down, logoff, Session change, etc). So far I found that the SystemEvents class is very useful (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.win32.systemevents_members.aspx)
However it is missing the notifications for Screen Saver start and stop. Does anybody have an idea to subscribe to Screen Saver events

Good Luck...I think your going to have to poll with that code...
No such system event AFAIK.
ehrlich
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
static extern int SystemParametersInfo(int uAction,
int uParam, ref int lpvParam, int fuWinIni);
int screenSaverRunning = -1;
int ok = SystemParametersInfo(114, 0, ref
screenSaverRunning, 0);
if (screenSaverRunning != 0)
//it's running

Thanks for the reply and hint.
However, I need to trigger the event of a screen saver starts as soon it happens (by registering a delegate or to an event). I am doing a 3D preview that I want to stop as soon as the screen saver starts, and then resume the preview when the screen saver stops.
Regards :)
