| Zerberus 2006-12-09 02:52:58 | Short question: Is there an option to automatically stop DPAD when notebook is running on battery power? Zerberus |
| Stephen Brooks 2006-12-09 17:05:01 | Not at the moment. I'm not sure how to determine what power source the computer is using, though maybe Windows has a friendly API function called something like GetDevicePowerState. Occasionally things that seem complicated are actually easy to add... |
| Zerberus 2006-12-10 02:56:28 | Yes, there is, I found: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/power/base/getsystempowerstatus.asp |
| Stephen Brooks 2006-12-11 11:44:30 | Hmm do you want it to shut off completely or just go into a "sleep" state (i.e. checking every 30 seconds whether the AC power is connected again) when it is on batteries? |
| sssf 2006-12-11 13:02:29 | sleep state is better, if you reconnect the power connecter again dpad should continue to work. |
| Zerberus 2006-12-12 01:50:44 | I opt for the Sleep state since I tend to forget to restart it myself... Zerberus |
| Stephen Brooks 2007-02-23 12:05:48 | I've coded this in now and will test on my laptop... Not sure quite how soon I can do a full recompile of the whole thing (i.e. releasable) though. |
| Zerberus 2007-02-26 00:28:16 | Thanks! Will be watching this thread for any news. Take your time. |
