There is an API function specifically for this purpose, so you don't need to simulate fake input:

Sorry ,I know about that but it did not work
I am doing a MMedia player and that did not work with XP Screen saver SP2 to be exact so I got to see some other way to solve my problem
Beside no harm to have another way
Sorry

If it didn't work you did it wrong.
As per
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... s.85).aspx
"This function does not stop the screen saver from executing."
"to keep the display or system in the working state, the thread must call SetThreadExecutionState periodically."
ES_CONTINUOUS and ES_DISPLAY_REQUIRED should be the only flags you need.
Unless i misread it you should use SetThreadExecutionState(ES_CONTINUOUS|ES_DISPLAY_REQUIRED)
and when done playing you use SetThreadExecutionState(ES_CONTINUOUS) to clear the display flag, the documentation does not say what passing 0 does so do not rely on that.
Alternatively you can use then periodically use SetThreadExecutionState(ES_DISPLAY_REQUIRED) periodically, try once a minute first (I think that is the minimum screen saver setting).
Also note that your code could be a issue at least for people like me that watch video and do other stuff at the same time, I'd never use a player that hogs the mouse pointer preveting me from doing anything else.
And before you say "this will only be used in fullscreen", well what about those with multiple monitors? I often have video fullscreen on my main monitor but other stuff on my secondary monitor.

Hi
Should I believe you or MSDN and myself
MSDN says(Read your MSDN link carefully and you did it all ready)
This function does not stop the screen saver from executing.
If it will then MSDN should say use it periodically even if you are using ES_CONTINUOUS
Beside using it periodically just in case
Calling SetThreadExecutionState without ES_CONTINUOUS simply resets the idle timer; to keep the display or system in the working state, the thread must call SetThreadExecutionState periodically.
Did not work with XP SP2 by testing all options (Sorry)
I am not the only one who did that Symantic and Nirsoft and others did it before
I made it available in PB instead of running external exe
Seems everything running smoothly the Player and any application at the same time
Reading and talking can not take over exercising and testing

I am using the following
program for windows, which helps to keep my notebook running overnight if needed.
You can use a combination of characters as a start parameter to change the behaviour of the tool, a short information about this will be displayed when using the parameter '?'. While the program is active, you can also use the keyboard to toggle some options, like 'd' to keep the display active or not.

Hi MV
I can not depend on external tool
The code embedded into the MMplayer code
It runs when you run your code so if your application crashed for some reason your system still have its defaults no problem
This technique is foolproof for all Windows versions(By testing) and so simple
and
no side effects 
Some of other techniques if you want to read some more
