backlight control in screensaver application

[sunny_singh]

hi,
i have developed an application which behaves like a screensaver. it uses an active object which looks for inactivity time.

and when the time set by user is=inactivity time then screen saver is started.

what i need is when my screen is shown i want backlight on for say 10 seconds. how is it possible.

thanks,
sunny

Hi!

How do you write an application which the user cannot switch away from (stops them using the 'application switch' key?

Thanks

User::ResetInactivityTime() turns backlight on. Note this will also reset idle-timers, thus you have to avoid re-triggering your screensaver (by simply checking the clock or by having a timer for re-enabling the idle object, etc.)

For a screensaver, TApaTask::BringToForeground and/or RWindowTreeNode::SetOrdinalPosition should be usually enough.

Hi,

Use CHWRMLight class to turn backlight ON\OFF.

Sorry Wizard_hu, how would these functions be called?

I did try with the solution found in

http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ad.php?t=71757

but got a few problems...

Thanks!

For example

TApaTask task(CEikonEnv::Static()->WsSession());
task.SetWgId(CEikonEnv::Static()->RootWin().Identifier());
task.SendToBackground();
