Sub TurnOffScreenSaver()
Dim i As Integer
'Determine if the screen saver is on
i = SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETSCREENSAVEACTIVE, 0&, fScreenSaveWasOn,
0&)
If fScreenSaveWasOn Then
'Tell Windows to disable screen savers
i = SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETSCREENSAVEACTIVE, False, 0&, 0&)
End If
End Sub
Sub TurnOnScreenSaver()
Dim i As Integer
'First determine if the screen saver was on when this program was
IN_PROGRESS
If fScreenSaveWasOn Then
'Tell Windows to enable screen savers
i = SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETSCREENSAVEACTIVE, True, 0&, 0&)
End If
End Sub
