Does anyboby know a function to turn OFF monitor , or put it in standby mode under MS Windows (98,XP..)?
I need to put such code in my program written in C++ to control monitor like Power Menagment does.
Thanks.

OK , I have found the answer by myself:
SendMessage(hwnd, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, 1);
Maybe it will useful for you.
