Application.SetSuspendState and power event

[cricrides]

Hello guys,

I need your help on the following subject:

I have an application that detects a power change (to standby or hibernate).
AddHandler SystemEvents.PowerModeChanged, AddressOf PowerChangeSub

When I hit the standby key on my keyboard, the power change is detected and all actions are done properly.

However, when I enter the standby mode by using:
Application.SetSuspendState(PowerState.Suspend, True, False)
The computer goes to stand by but the event of powermodechanged is NOT triggered.

Any idea how to overcome that problem?

Thanks a lot,

cricri

I think the answer lies in your force=True.

force
Type: System.Boolean

true to force the suspended mode immediately; false to cause Windows to send a suspend request to every application.

My impression is that this suspend request equals the application event notification.

thanks for your reply!!!

Yes indeed. It might be the reason.
I will try the false.
