[ACCEPTED]-Checking for workstation lock/unlock change with c#-environment
A SessionSwitch event may be your best bet for this. Check 2 the SessionSwitchReason passed through the SessionSwitchEventArgs to find out what 1 kind of switch it is and react appropriately.
You can get this notification via a WM_WTSSESSION_CHANGE 4 message. You must notify Windows that you 3 want to receive these messages via WTSRegisterSessionNotification 2 and unregister with WTSUnRegisterSessionNotification.
These 1 posts should be helpful for a C# implementation.

You can use ComponentDispatcher as an alternative way to get those events.
Here's 1 an example class to wrap that.
public class Win32Session
{
private const int NOTIFY_FOR_THIS_SESSION = 0;
private const int WM_WTSSESSION_CHANGE = 0x2b1;
private const int WTS_SESSION_LOCK = 0x7;
private const int WTS_SESSION_UNLOCK = 0x8;
public event EventHandler MachineLocked;
public event EventHandler MachineUnlocked;
public Win32Session()
{
ComponentDispatcher.ThreadFilterMessage += ComponentDispatcher_ThreadFilterMessage;
}
void ComponentDispatcher_ThreadFilterMessage(ref MSG msg, ref bool handled)
{
if (msg.message == WM_WTSSESSION_CHANGE)
{
int value = msg.wParam.ToInt32();
if (value == WTS_SESSION_LOCK)
{
OnMachineLocked(EventArgs.Empty);
}
else if (value == WTS_SESSION_UNLOCK)
{
OnMachineUnlocked(EventArgs.Empty);
}
}
}
protected virtual void OnMachineLocked(EventArgs e)
{
EventHandler temp = MachineLocked;
if (temp != null)
{
temp(this, e);
}
}
protected virtual void OnMachineUnlocked(EventArgs e)
{
EventHandler temp = MachineUnlocked;
if (temp != null)
{
temp(this, e);
}
}
}
