I found Tim Golden's artical "See if my workstation is locked"
http://timgolden.me.uk/python/win32_how_do_i/see_if_my_workstation_is_locked.html
which got me most of the way to where I need to be, I want to detect
both logout and login events, with some changes to the script provided
above I ended up with 2 problems 1) I was able to detect the logout but
not the login 2) it was a resource hog at 50% cpu usage (presumably
because of the while 1:) here is what I have now:
import time, ctypes, Skype4Py
skype = Skype4Py.Skype()
def restoreMessages(messages):
#for now lets just deal with skype, we'll add the others later
skype.Profile('MOOD_TEXT', messages['skype'])
def setMessages(message):
#for now lets just deal with skype, we'll add the others later
skype.Profile('MOOD_TEXT', message)
user32 = ctypes.windll.User32
OpenDesktop = user32.OpenDesktopA
SwitchDesktop = user32.SwitchDesktop
DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP = 0x0100
locked = False
try:
while 1:
hDesktop = OpenDesktop ("default", 0, False, DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP)
result = SwitchDesktop (hDesktop)
if result:
if locked:
locked = False
restoreMessages(messages)
else:
locked = True
messages = {'skype':skype.Profile('MOOD_TEXT')}
setMessages('AFK - Away From Keyboard')
time.sleep(2)
except:
pass
