Const SC_MONITORPOWER = &HF170&
Const MON_OFF = 2&
Const WM_SYSCOMMAND = &H112


Private Sub procTurnOff()

  SendMessage Me.hWnd, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, MON_OFF

End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Timer1.Enabled = False
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
    Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub

Private Sub Form_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
    If KeyCode = vbKeyS And Shift = vbCtrlMask Then
        Timer1.Enabled = False
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
