I enabled the monitor plugin to turn on/off monitor and I dont find the LUA function to use, it seems this plugin is missing lua...

PS: I use win.PostMessage to send messages to programs in LUA, how do I send keyboard keys in lua ?

Thanks in advance.

About the monitor plugin, Not every plugin has a lua side to it.

Sendkey:

gir.SendKey([WindowHandle],[String])

The string is the same as the KeyboardEx functionality. See helpfile.

Ok, but manual talk about gir.SendKey that receive 2 arguments, and in Variable Inspector there are only gir.SendKeys that receive 3 arguments...

you mean where in the variable inspector it says:


C
=[C]
[C]
?
that simply means that the function is a c funtion and the varaible inspector doesn't know anything about its parameters or return values

No, you are not understanding...
I'm saying that the functions is not gir.SendKey but gir.SendKeys and it needs 3 arguments and not two... The manual is not correct!
And what is the third argument to?
I tried gir.SendKeys(winhandler,key,1) and it works...

What I was asking is a way to turn monitor in power saving mode, like I can do with the monitor plugin in the UI on the left...
I think all the plugins should trie to have a lua interface to use by users who want scripting... And it seams that plugin is missing it!

Fixed SendKeys to only need 2 parameters.
