Microsoft DirectShow 9.0

DisableScreenSaver Property

This component is available for use in the Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions.

The DVDAdm.DisableScreenSaver property turns the system screen saver on or off.

Syntax

[ bDisabled = ] DVD.DVDAdm.DisableScreenSaver

Return Values

Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the system's screen saver settings are disabled for the DVD player application; TRUE means the settings are disabled.

Remarks

This property is read/write with a default value of true. When viewing a DVD-Video disc, a user typically does not use the mouse or keyboard for extended periods of time. The MSWebDVD ActiveX® control therefore disables the system screen saver by default. Object
