HandlerEx function and SERVICE_CONTROL_POWEREVENT

[Enrorr]

I'm experiencing a different behaviour from what is told in the docs:

In my HandlerEx function of my custom service (registered with RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerEx) when I intercept the control event SERVICE_CONTROL_POWEREVENT the DWORD dwEventType is not PBT_POWERSETTINGCHANGE as stated in docs but can be any of the event identifiers of the WM_POWERBROADCAST Message even when i try to reproduce one of the power change PBT_POWERSETTINGCHANGE should dealing with...

I suppose I'm doing something wrong, or not understanding docs well.

the DWORD dwEventType is not PBT_POWERSETTINGCHANGE as stated in docs ... I suppose I'm doing something wrong, or not understanding docs well.

I guess it is OS specific.

For 2K/XP/Server 2003 (in case of SERVICE_CONTROL_POWEREVENT):

- dwEventType parameter will be any of the values that could be pased in the wParam parameter of the WM_POWERBROADCAST message: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...47(VS.85).aspx

- lpEventData points to the data that comes in the lParam parameter of the WM_POWERBROADCAST message.

For Vista/Server 2008 (in case of SERVICE_CONTROL_POWEREVENT):

- dwEventType parameter may be set to PBT_POWERSETTINGCHANGE;

- in that case lpEventData points to POWERBROADCAST_SETTING structure:

This is an ambiguous documentation. It should've said that it is only for Vista (that is what MSDN is now for).

Thank you, I should reached it by myself (me stupid).
I'll try to define WINVER and _WIN32_WINNT as 0x0600.
No real vista pc around here for miles
