Restore Screen on Remote

Hi Scott,
there is an action item for blanking the screen on a remote using tasks.
What I'm missing is a function to turn the screen on again remotely.
It shouldn't be a big deal to add that.
So long peter

You can do this by using a very small script. Just emulate a key press and the screen will unblank again.
Code: Select all
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.SendKeys "x"
Set objShell = Nothing

Hi Scott,
Thanks for that. I'm using another way: the task calls a little remote executable which sends a windows message ( the is one specific for this). Just... I didn't see the reason why this is not implemented.
I have a wall mounted screen with a remote software on it. For saving the lamp, I turn it on just by a motion detector.
Thanks.

It makes sense to have an 'unblank' screen, since there exists the 'blank' option. I'll look into it.
