Does anyone know how to disable standby and any other power saver settings
when my app is running? My app runs on computers that use touch screens and
there is a bug in the driver that doesn't register touchscreen input as input
so computers are going into standby when they shouldn't.

You can do it in .NET, you can tell when it happens with
Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents but you would need to find a WinAPI call to turn
it off

Is there a way to cancel the changing of the power modes when subscribing to
the PowerModeChanged event?

Sorry, I meant to say you can't do it in .NET.
the best I have found is:
http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/w-p/syst...cle.php/c6907/
its a java/c++ implementation but its source sode so you should be able to
port it.
