Screensavers

Please can anyone tell me how to make a screensaver using VB??????!!!!

There's nothing special...

Just make a fullscreen app and add code to exit into MouseMove and KeyDown events... To allow configuration use the Command() function to get the parameters... I think -d stands for config, not sure though...

You need to use command lines and start in sub main to find out what windows wants you to do...

Compile it with the extension .SCR instead of .EXE.

There are four things that windows wants you to do:

(not sure of cmd line args)
1. Screensaver
2. Password
3. Preview
4. Configure

Btw, I believe this page (vb-world) has some info on doing screensavers. Take a look & good luck!

I have a tutorial/template application if anyone wants it. It handles all the passwords, configs, previews, &c. Email me if you want it.

VB 6 actaually had an example screensaver...

/c for config
/p for preview
