    <h2>in short:</h2> <p>i want to intercept <strong>suspend/standby messages</strong> on my laptop, but my program doesn't receives all relevant messages.</p> <h2>background:</h2> <p>there's a bug in ms-excel on windows xp/2k, which prevents system suspend if a file is opened on a network/usb drive.</p> <p>i'm trying to work-around it programmatically (my toolbox include python, vb6, or command line tools).</p> <p>i know nothing about windows instrumentation :-)</p> <p>i have a sysinternals utility that suspends the system anyhow. i want to hook it to the close-lid event!</p> <h2>in long:</h2> <p>The notebook lid close (fujitsu u810) initiate the standby procedure [how?]</p> <p>The system then send everybody WM_POWERBROADCAST: PBT_APMQUERYSUSPEND (i can trace them using <code>SPYXX.EXE</code>)</p> <p>Every program answers "True", until excel answers "false", and the whole process stops.</p> <h2>My questions:</h2> <p>1) my python program doesn't catch neither pbm_apmquerysuspend, nor PBT_APMQUERYSTANDBYFAILED, nor PBT_APMQUERYSUSPENDFAILED: ` ...</p> <pre><code>query = "SELECT * FROM Win32_PowerManagementEvent" power_watcher = wmi.ExecNotificationQuery ( query ) power_event = power_watcher.NextEvent () </code></pre> <p>` it receives only PBT_APMSUSPEND, if standby finally occurs.</p> <p>Why not - and how do i intercept it?</p> <p>2) Is there another way to intercept the standby process?</p> <p>in a prefect world, i would set the lid-close event to run a command i choose. in a perfect world, lid-closure is a documented event.</p> <p>thank you all :-)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
