Mouse move triggered by a Window Opening?
protokatie:
Vanguard, I have Visual C Studio somewhere, so maybe sending me the exe would be better (trust me when I say "somewhere" as I look out into space). (oddly enough as I was typing I looked right at it, but still the computer is so old I wouldn't want to install any new software on it, it chokes on firefox 3.0).
I tried a trick to see if I could do this with settings, I changed the mouse settings to automatically move the mouse to the default button of a window, but this must be purely internal as it didnt trigger the screen to power up. What ever is used must look to the computer as tho the mouse was the trigger.
RayB, if you find any such setting in Windows XP Pro (TinyXP 9) let me know. The computer isnt actually in standby, just the screen is set to go to power save after 5 minutes.
Vanguard:
If the system is just in power save mode (not hibernate), then there are API's that a program can use to wake the system.
Proto, PM me and I'll send you spy++.
TOK:
Is the Magic Jack just a USB device?
If you go to Device Manager ->Human Interface Devices and find the Magic Jack, you can right click it, then click on Properties and the Power Management tab. There should be an option there to let the device bring the computer out of standby.
Vanguard:
I think that might only be for HID devices. The MJ is probably always active where as a HID device requires some human interaction to bring the system out of standby.
protokatie:
A point of clarification (I thought I had already done this, but meh) The computer is always active, it is simply the monitor that goes to sleep. Therefor the only thing is to get the system to "see" an activity that an HID type device would do (mouse move or keypress).
MJ is a USB device but is always active. Actually if I had the computer go to standby it would prolly shut MJ off and I wouldnt be able to receive my roomates calls..(This is why I am building a tardis... well, not a real one, but a 1960's era London Police box. I will have pics of that sometime soon).
VG, I will shoot you a PM so I can get that exe from you and report what OS calls are being made when the window opens. As I have said before, I tried using the "move mouse to default button" option but that was internal and didnt trigger an HID event to wake the screen up.
