starting screensaver in win98

[c@lle]

i'm having troubles when i'm trying to start the screensaver in Windows98!!!!

this is my code :

Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" _
Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal _
wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long

Public Const WM_SYSCOMMAND As Long = &H112&
Public Const SC_SCREENSAVE As Long = &HF140&
Private Const SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING = 97&

Function gf_StartScreenSaver() As Boolean
 Dim hwnd&
 Dim iNumber As Integer
 On Error Resume Next
 
    hwnd& = GetDesktopWindow()
    Call SendMessage(hwnd&, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING, 0&)
    iNumber = Err.Number
    gf_StartScreenSaver = (Err.Number = 0)
    If iNumber = 0 Then boScreenSaverStarted = True
    
End Function

someone already told me to use the SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING variable, but it is still not working.

who knows what i have to do????

i think i might have found an answer myself:

How to Start a Screen Saver using the API
The sample code below shows how to start a Visual Basic screen saver by sending a Windows message to the Control-menu box on a form.

Microsoft Windows starts screen savers through the System-menu box on a form. The System-menu box is also known as the Control-menu box in Visual Basic. You can send Windows messages to the Control-menu box by using the SendMessage Windows API (application programming interface) function. 

Declarations

#If Win32 Then

    Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" _
    Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wMsg _
    As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) _
    As Long 
    
    Const WM_SYSCOMMAND = &H112&
    Const SC_SCREENSAVE = &HF140&

#Else

    Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "User" _
    (ByVal hWnd As Integer, ByVal wMsg As Integer, ByVal _
    wParam As Integer, lParam As Any) As Long

    Const WM_SYSCOMMAND = &H112
    Const SC_SCREENSAVE = &HF140&

#End If        

Code

To start the screen saver, use the following code:

Dim result As Long
result = SendMessage(Form1.hWnd, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_SCREENSAVE, 0&)
