How can I tell if the monitor is in standby mode?

On Windows, is there a way to determine programmatically if the main monitor is idle or not?

Maybe...

Willy Denoyette's half-page post has an example script.

I don't know exactly how to do this, but I remember there is a Windows message when the power management changed.

here is an article on how to manipulate the monitor.

There might be a way to send a message and get a response to the monitor state.
