Windows Screen Saver and Monitor Status

How do I communicate to windows to find the Windows screen saver status and the monitor status?

I don't know the particular API calls you need for that, but here's the general way to access Windows innards:

 

Use the CALL LIBRARY function, and point it to ADVAPI32.dll.

This particular call is set up to call "GetUserNameA", returning the logged-in user's name.

 

If there's an API for what you need, then configure this function to go call it.

Thank you for that information. I had suspected as much and was hoping for a little more help with the actual direction that I might need to go.
