public static function SetSuspendState(
    state : PowerState, 
    force : boolean, 
    disableWakeEvent : boolean
) : boolean

Parameters

state
Type: System.Windows.Forms..::.PowerState
A PowerState indicating the power activity mode to which to transition.
force
Type: System..::.Boolean
true to force the suspended mode immediately; false to cause Windows to send a suspend request to every application.
disableWakeEvent
Type: System..::.Boolean
true to disable restoring the system's power status to active on a wake event, false to enable restoring the system's power status to active on a wake event.

Return Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if the system is being suspended, otherwise, false.

If an application does not respond to a suspend request within 20 seconds, Windows determines that it is in a non-responsive state, and that the application can either be put to sleep or terminated. Once an application responds to a suspend request, however, it can take whatever time it needs to clean up resources and shut down active processes.
