is this relevant to visual c++ progamming?
He may think it is, but it is not.
Applications do not quit / stop when you lock a computer.
No, it does not quit but it stops processing.
Like if I want to search and backup a few files when the computer is locked. Or I want to run an automated test on an application when the PC is locked.
Because I made a automation program that basically sends a series of keyboard and mouse events to the application I want to test. But the events stop processing when the computer is locked.
OF Course, the KEYBOARD is locked. You need to use another mechanism for controlling your application.Quote:

Now you know what the 'lock' means ;)Quote:

So the lock basically means keyboard and mouse is locked but not the running processes. So are all mouse messages and keyboard messages are also blocked? Like SendMessage(WM_LBUTTONCLICK) etc?
Is there a way to get around this as I don't want anyone disturbing the automated test(The reason I want it locked).
