Programmatically prevent Windows screensaver from starting

Question

Is there a recommended way to prevent the Windows screensaver from starting? The closest thing I\'ve found is this article, but what I would really like to do is just tell

Answer 1

This blog post details what you need to do in C++.

The actual code snippet from the website:

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
  switch (uMsg)                  
  {
    case WM_SYSCOMMAND:
    {
      switch (wParam)
      {
        case SC_SCREENSAVE:  
          return 0;
        case SC_MONITORPOWER:
          return 0;      
      }
      break;      
    }

    case WM_CLOSE:                
    {
      PostQuitMessage(0);            
      return 0;        
    }
  }
  return DefWindowProc(hWnd,uMsg,wParam,lParam);

}
