Instance Methods

GarbageCollect

This method is for diagnostics use only and releases unused memory used by the driver service which is running this driver.

Syntax

void GarbageCollect( )

Parameters

none

GetDriveUsage ( String )

Gets the percent usage of a specified logical drive.

Syntax

Number GetDriveUsage( String driveLetter )

Parameters

driveLetter : The drive letter of the logical drive.

ShutdownWindowsOS ( Boolean )

Shutdown the Windows OS.

Syntax

void ShutdownWindowsOS( Boolean force )

Parameters

force : true to force the shutdown immediately; false to cause Windows to send a shutdown request to every application.

RestartWindowsOS ( Boolean )

Restart the Windows OS.

Syntax

void RestartWindowsOS( Boolean force )

Parameters

force : true to force the a restart immediately; false to cause Windows to send a restart request to every application.

HibernateWindowsOS ( Boolean, Boolean )

Hibernate the Windows OS.

Syntax

void HibernateWindowsOS( Boolean force, Boolean disableWakeEvent )

Parameters

force : true to force the hibernation mode immediately; false to cause Windows to send a hibernation request to every application.

disableWakeEvent : 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.

SuspendWindowsOS ( Boolean, Boolean )

Suspend the Windows OS.

Syntax

void SuspendWindowsOS( Boolean force, Boolean disableWakeEvent )

Parameters

force : true to force the suspended mode immediately; false to cause Windows to send a suspend request to every application.

disableWakeEvent : 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.

SetPropertyForDuration ( String, TimeSpan, Object, Object )

Sets a property for a duration of time and then sets the property to a subequent value asynchronously. This action returns after setting the first value and the timer and subsequent property set run in the background. Subsequent sets of the same property will reset the timer if the subsequent value has not yet been set. This is an advanced feature, be sure to set the property name correctly.

Syntax

void SetPropertyForDuration( String propertyName, unknown duration, Object initialValue, Object finalValue )

Parameters

propertyName : The name of the property to set.

duration : The amount of time to wait after setting the initial value to set the subsequent value.

initialValue : The value to set the property to initially.

finalValue : The value to set the property to after the duration of time has passed.

SetPropertyForDuration ( String, Number, TimeSpan, Object, Object )

void SetPropertyForDuration( String propertyName, Number arrayIndex, unknown duration, Object initialValue, Object finalValue )

Parameters

propertyName : The name of the property to set.

arrayIndex : The property's array index to set.

duration : The amount of time to wait after setting the initial value to set the subsequent value.

initialValue : The value to set the property to initially.

finalValue : The value to set the property to after the duration of time has passed.
