[RESOLVED] [2005] shutdown, restart, hibernate etc.

[Dave Sell]

I realize the thread is old but I finally tracked down the answer, use SuspendState API:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa373201.aspx (Sorry for the VB6 code).

Private Declare Function SetSystemPowerState Lib "kernel32" (ByVal fSuspend As Integer, ByVal fForce As Integer) As Integer
Private Declare Function SetSuspendState Lib "powrprof.dll" (ByVal Hibernate As Boolean, ByVal ForceCritical As Boolean, ByVal DisableWakeEvent As Boolean) As Boolean
 
Public Sub GotoStandbyMode()
    'SetSystemPowerState 1, 0 ' doesn't seem to work...?
    SetSuspendState False, False, False
End Sub
