The WM_POWERBROADCAST message is sent to an application to notify it of power-management events.

dwPowerEvent = (DWORD) wParam;
dwData = (DWORD) lParam;

Parameters

dwPowerEvent

Event notification message. This parameter can be one of the following values:

Value
Meaning
PBT_APMBATTERYLOW
Battery power is low.
PBT_APMOEMEVENT
OEM-defined event occurred.
PBT_APMPOWERSTATUSCHANGE
Power status has changed.
PBT_APMQUERYSUSPEND
Request for permission to suspend.

Suspension request denied.
PBT_APMRESUMECRITICAL
Operation resuming after critical suspension.
PBT_APMRESUMESUSPEND

dwData

Function-specific data. For most messages, this parameter is reserved and not used.

However, if wParam is one of the resume notifications (PBT_APMRESUME*), the lParam parameter can specify the PBTF_APMRESUMEFROMFAILURE flag. This flag indicates that a suspend operation failed after the PBT_APMSUSPEND message was sent.

Return Values

Return TRUE to grant a request.

Return BROADCAST_QUERY_DENY to deny a request.
