Can I read Windows OS properties in LabVIEW (ex: Is monitor in power save mode?)

Is it possible to read any properties from windows OS.  I would like my code to know if the monitor is in power save mode or not.
 
I am using a touch panel and after the screen goes blank (power save mode), I don't want the user to accidentally push the wrong button (since he cannot see them).  The user has to touch the screen once to waken it up.  As far as I know there is no way for me to disable the touch screen while in power save mode so I wanted to try and disable the buttons when the screen is in power save mode.
 
Thanks,
   Javier

Look here.  At a bare minimum, it loks like you need DevicePowerEnumDevices and GetDevicePowerState.
