Either the screen saver is on and the full screen is ours, or it is off. This means that we don't use the paint event handler to draw our animation; we can do it directly in the timer event handler. Also, if we have just little parts on the screen that change in every animation step, we can directly update these parts and don't have to refresh the full screen. This saves a lot of CPU usage. ScreenSaverForm is the form of the application.
It prepares and handles everything needed. The actual screen saver animation drawing is done in a derived class from ScreenSaverBase. All of the objects that are needed for the animation by the different screen savers are in the internal class Globals. The constructor gets an integer passed, which is the Windows handle for a possible preview window. In full screen mode, the form is initialized as a maximized and top-most window, a simple task to do. In preview mode, we have to manipulate the window settings with some Windows API calls.
The trick is to set the parent window of our form to the passed Windows handle. We also have to set the window style of our form to be a child window.
This is so that it will properly receive a close message from the systems screen saver properties dialog when a new screen saver is selected for the preview window. After that, we read the parent's client size and set that for our form, too. Finally, we set the global screen size to use. The next steps is to capture the screen full or preview in a bitmap so that we can re-draw it later.
We also need to load and set up the timer values. After all that, we instantiate the screen saver of choice and call its OnLoad method. The final steps are to create the graphics, capture the mouse position and start the timer. The implemented event handlers of the form are very simple. When a KeyDown , a MouseDown or a MouseMove event occurs, we just close the application if it runs in full screen mode.
OnPaintBackground forwards the event directly to the OnPaintBackground method of the current screen saver. If so, it stops the timer and fills the screen with black color. Otherwise, it calls the OnTimerTick method of the current screen saver. Class ScreenSaverBase is abstract and has the following four methods. OnLoad is abstract and called in the load event handler of the screen saver form. Set Globals. OnPaintBackground is not abstract and, as default, draws the background image that's saved in Globals.
Override this method if, for instance, you want a black background. OnTimerTick is abstract and called at every timer event. Implement your animation here. Dispose is to properly clean up the allocated resources, just as good practice wants it. This contains all the objects that are needed for the animation drawing, so we don't have to allocate it in every timer event.
To implement your own screen saver, just derive a class from ScreenSaverBase. While working on the problem to handle the preview mode, I created another project, StartProg , to run the given application in all three modes.
It's easier to run the screen saver from this application than to always copy it to the system's directory and start it from the desktop property dialog. It's also very useful when working on the options dialog. Unfortunately, there are two things I couldn't solve:. If you are unsure how to do this, check out this blog post on User Secrets.

Tuesday, June 6, PM. This indicates that the Skype version that you are using is not compatible with the sample. You are allways free to change the code if you want to get it working with the Skype version you are running, but since there was an major update by Skype the library is incompatible.
But the source code of the library can allways point you in the good direction. Wednesday, June 7, AM. I am looking a code working with latest skype to test my application.. Really appreciated your help.. There is a Release build of SharpLogic. It should solve the main problems mentioned here.
Monday, June 12, PM. Hi Ed Kaim, It is not working.. Really appreciated your help. Wednesday, June 14, AM. Hi Ed Thanks for the tip, I had the same problem and after downloading the new dll, I don't get the exception anymore, but get a timeout when SkypeManager is created. Wednesday, June 28, PM. Thursday, July 13, PM. Hi No I am still not able to get it working. Friday, July 14, PM. I am getting same error at SkypeManager: "An error occurred creating the form.
