Hello, Does anyone know if it's possible to query WMI to obtain the status of the laptop lid (open or closed)? I realize this probably is OEM specific, but has anyone successfully done this? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Please refer to the following similar thread: How do I detect the laptop lid status (closed or open) using powershell? Hope it helps.

Thanks, Alex. I did see that post, and the link that it points to, but it mentions ASL code and leveraging BIOS as a way to accomplish this task. I was hoping to stay higher-level -- C# with pInvoke-like calls is what I had in mind if straight WMI was not available.

Hi, Regarding this query about development, it is recommended to post to MSDN forum for further help; they are the best resource to help you on this issue: Windows: General Category Good luck.
