stopping the screensaver taking focus

[idkpmiller]

Hi,

What is the friendliest way of stopping the screen saver and other plugins from taking the focus from Gamezone, I understand that as gamezone is effective doing nothing once a emulator is launched its just waiting to recieve an event that will tell it to stop the launched emulator how can I inform other plugins that gamezone still requires the focus?

I hope this makes sense.

Cheers

Do you mean something like...

PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().DisableScreenSaver();

I'm not sure what you mean by other plugins but I see you're the author of Gamezone and you could add that method call to prevent the screensaver from kicking in when someone is using it.

Cheers,
Brian

Thanks for the screensaver help. I had missed the that one, that will certainly help me.

The other thing I mean is where plugins such as callerID (which I love) will pop there screen, in this case the caller log to the front based on an event or maybe a scheduled time. I was hoping that I could provide an option for the user that would say yes - other plugins can seize focus or no - let me continue playing games and I will deal with other stuff later.

Thanks
