stop screensaver

[shoazib]

Hi

I want to stop the windows screen saver from my vb 6 app. I have a sensor that detects motion and plays a greeting when motion is detected. When the screensaver is running and motion is sensed then the greeting is played but on the monitor the screen saver does not go off. Is there a command that can be send to stop the screensaver.

Can anyone pls help me with this. the reason i am usin screen saver is because that is a requirement of my project.

Faking the press of any key should turn off the screensaver. You can insert this code in front of your greeting code which "presses" the shift key
