monitor

Is it possible to re-assign the Win + L hotkey to another executable/shortcut? Use-case - I would like to switch off the monitor of my laptop as soon as it is locked. I know of a executable which can lock and turn off the monitor but I do not want to change the way the system is locked (by running the program explicitly or by some other shortcut). It would be best if Win + L can be assigned to this executable. franc0is You need to set the following registry key to completely disable the Windows locking feature: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

How would one poll windows to see what monitors are attached and what resolution they are running at? In C#: Screen Class Represents a display device or multiple display devices on a single system. You want the Bounds attribute. foreach(var screen in Screen.AllScreens) { // For each screen, add the screen properties to a list box. listBox1.Items.Add("Device Name: " + screen.DeviceName); listBox1.Items.Add("Bounds: " + screen.Bounds.ToString()); listBox1.Items.Add("Type: " + screen.GetType().ToString()); listBox1.Items.Add("Working Area: " + screen.WorkingArea.ToString()); listBox1.Items.Add(

What are the major differences between a Monitor and a Semaphore ? A Monitor is an object designed to be accessed from multiple threads. The member functions or methods of a monitor object will enforce mutual exclusion, so only one thread may be performing any action on the object at a given time. If one thread is currently executing a member function of the object then any other thread that tries to call a member function of that object will have to wait until the first has finished. A Semaphore is a lower-level object. You might well use a semaphore to implement a monitor. A semaphore

I'm trying to monitor performance of my app; When cpu usage overloads, I dump the stack trace of the suspicious thread and main thread as string by two libs: https://github.com/bestswifter/BSBacktraceLogger https://github.com/plausiblelabs/plcrashreporter Following are the stack trace of one thread that I record, but it cannot help me analyze and locate where the performance issue is. Am I doing wrong or how can I analyze the stack trace of a thread? Ohkay ! I somewhat got your problem. What is your app about,? I mean is it a Game or something.? With this very info, I'll give you few

I found this page and was unable to get any useful information out of it (it searches the registry for something but never finds it and goes into an infinite loop). As this question regarding getting the monitor serial UID ("EDID information") asks I would like the same information but from the point of view of Win32 C code (or C/C++ DDK code, or whatever) instead of Linux. WMI didn't support monitor classes in Windows XP. The documented way of getting the EDID was - and still is - with the Setup API. Longer survey and a VC++ code sample are available here . First I got a C# version working
