The PowerStatus class represents information about the current AC line power status, battery charging status, and battery charge status.
This class is used by the PowerStatus property of the SystemInformation class to indicate current system power information.
The following example lists all properties of the PowerStatus class in a ListBox control and displays the current value of the associated property in a TextBox control when a list item selected.
#using <System.Windows.Forms.dll> #using <System.Drawing.dll> #using <System.dll> using namespace System; using namespace System::Collections; using namespace System::ComponentModel; using namespace System::Drawing; using namespace System::Reflection; using namespace System::Windows::Forms; public ref class PowerStatusBrowserForm: public System::Windows::Forms::Form { private: System::Windows::Forms::ListBox^ listBox1; System::Windows::Forms::TextBox^ textBox1; public: PowerStatusBrowserForm() { this->SuspendLayout(); InitForm(); //Add each property of the PowerStatus class to the list box. Type^ t = System::Windows::Forms::PowerStatus::typeid; array<PropertyInfo^>^pi = t->GetProperties(); for ( int i = 0; i < pi->Length; i++ ) listBox1->Items->Add( pi[ i ]->Name ); textBox1->Text = String::Format( "The PowerStatus class has {0} properties.\r\n", pi->Length ); // Configure the list item selected handler for the list box to invoke a // method that displays the value of each property. listBox1->SelectedIndexChanged += gcnew EventHandler( this, &PowerStatusBrowserForm::listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged ); this->ResumeLayout( false ); } private: void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged( Object^ /*sender*/, EventArgs^ /*e*/ ) { // Return if no item is selected. if ( listBox1->SelectedIndex == -1 ) return; // Get the property name from the list item String^ propname = listBox1->Text; // Display the value of the selected property of the PowerStatus type. Type^ t = System::Windows::Forms::PowerStatus::typeid; array<PropertyInfo^>^pi = t->GetProperties(); PropertyInfo^ prop = nullptr; for ( int i = 0; i < pi->Length; i++ ) if ( pi[ i ]->Name == propname ) { prop = pi[ i ]; break; } Object^ propval = prop->GetValue( SystemInformation::PowerStatus, nullptr ); textBox1->Text = String::Format( "{0}\r\nThe value of the {1} property is: {2}", textBox1->Text, propname, propval ); } void InitForm() { // Initialize the form settings this->listBox1 = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::ListBox; this->textBox1 = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::TextBox; this->listBox1->Anchor = (System::Windows::Forms::AnchorStyles)(System::Windows::Forms::AnchorStyles::Top | System::Windows::Forms::AnchorStyles::Bottom | System::Windows::Forms::AnchorStyles::Left | System::Windows::Forms::AnchorStyles::Right); this->listBox1->Location = System::Drawing::Point( 8, 16 ); this->listBox1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 172, 496 ); this->listBox1->TabIndex = 0; this->textBox1->Anchor = (System::Windows::Forms::AnchorStyles)(System::Windows::Forms::AnchorStyles::Top | System::Windows::Forms::AnchorStyles::Bottom | System::Windows::Forms::AnchorStyles::Right); this->textBox1->Location = System::Drawing::Point( 188, 16 ); this->textBox1->Multiline = true; this->textBox1->ScrollBars = System::Windows::Forms::ScrollBars::Vertical; this->textBox1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 420, 496 ); this->textBox1->TabIndex = 1; this->ClientSize = System::Drawing::Size( 616, 525 ); this->Controls->Add( this->textBox1 ); this->Controls->Add( this->listBox1 ); this->Text = "Select a PowerStatus property to get the value of"; } }; [STAThread] int main() { Application::Run( gcnew PowerStatusBrowserForm ); }
