;The GetSystemPowerStatus function retrieves the power status of the system. The status indicates whether the system is running on AC Or DC power, whether the battery is currently charging, And how much battery life currently remains.

;BOOL GetSystemPowerStatus(LPSYSTEM_POWER_STATUS lpSystemPowerStatus);parameters

;lpSystemPowerStatus

;Pointer To a SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS Structure that receives status information.

;Return Values

;If the function succeeds, the Return value is nonzero.
;If the function fails, the Return value is zero.


;The SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS Structure contains information about the power status of the system.

;typedef struct _SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS {
BYTE ACLineStatus;
BYTE BatteryFlag;
BYTE BatteryLifePercent;
BYTE Reserved1;
DWORD BatteryLifeTime;
DWORD BatteryFullLifeTime;
;} SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS;
;typedef struct SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS *LPSYSTEM_POWER_STATUS;


;Members

;ACLineStatus

;AC power status. This parameter can be one of the following values:

;Value Meaning
;0 Offline
;1 Online
;255 Unknown status.
;All other values are reserved.

;BatteryFlag

;Battery charge status. This parameter can be a combination of the following values:

;Value Meaning
;1 High
;2 Low
;4 Critical
;8 Charging
;128 No system battery
;255 Unknown status
;All other values are reserved.

;BatteryLifePercent

;Percentage of full battery charge remaining. This member can be a value in the range 0 To 100, Or 255 If status is unknown. All other values are reserved.

;Reserved1

;Reserved; must be zero.

;BatteryLifeTime

;Number of seconds of battery life remaining, Or 0xFFFFFFFF If remaining seconds are unknown.

;BatteryFullLifeTime

;Number of seconds of battery life when at full charge, Or 0xFFFFFFFF If full lifetime is unknown.

;Remarks

;Windows 95 is only capable of estimating BatteryFullTime based on calculations on BatteryLifeTime And BatteryLifePercent. Without smart battery subsystems, this value may not be accurate enough To be useful.

Add this line. If PureBasic has this structure defined, it'll work:

Code: Select all

SPS.SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS

Otherwise, add:

Code: Select all

Structure SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS
ACLineStatus.b; 
BatteryFlag.b; 
BatteryLifePercent.b; 
Reserved1.b; 
BatteryLifeTime.l; 
BatteryFullLifeTime.l; 
EndStructure

Hope it helps. Regards,

Did you add the lines El_Choni prompted you to do? Your program should look something like this:

Code: Select all

SPS.SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS ; now SPS is defined

If OpenConsole()
  If GetSystemPowerStatus_(SPS)  0
    PrintN("Powerstatus is available")
  Else
    PrintN("Powerstatus cannot be detected!!!!")
  EndIf

  temp$= Input()
EndIf
CloseConsole()
End
