ACStatus Property Example

This example uses a Label control on a form to show the status of the system's AC power. To run this example, put a SysInfo control, a Label control and a Timer control on a form. Paste this code into the Timer event of the Timer control. Set the Interval property of the Timer control to 5000, then run the example.

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
   Select Case SysInfo1.ACStatus
      Case 0
         Label1.Caption = "AC Power: Off"
      Case 1
         Label1.Caption = "AC Power: On"
      Case 255
         Label1.Caption = "AC Power: Unknown"
   End Select
End Sub
