    black screen wanted

    I've automated some things on my computer with some mousecommands. This works perfectly. However though when I'm away for a couple of hours and I've got my program running (which is needed) the screensaver won't kick in due to the mouse movements.

    Is there any way to bypass this? So that a black screen is showed but the program still does its work.

    make a new form.

    Paint it black.

    Set the border style to none

    Make it maximized.

    It'd probably still show the taskbar, but with some api look ups, you can make it do whatever you need.

    Or.. You can make a new program, black, full screen. compile it. rename it to: .scr

    then have your program run the .scr

    unless your program says 'exit on mouse movement', it will stay up. However, by default, it wont start by windows with the mouse movements.
