On the Windows XP x64 running on the MacBook, the DeviceIoControl with IOCTL_VIDEO_QUERY_DISPLAY_BRIGHTNESS returns strange result.
HANDLE display = CreateFile(L"\\\\.\\LCD", FILE_ANY_ACCESS,
0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);
if( display != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE )
{
DISPLAY_BRIGHTNESS bright;
DWORD bytesReturned;
if( DeviceIoControl(display,
IOCTL_VIDEO_QUERY_DISPLAY_BRIGHTNESS,
NULL, 0, &bright,
sizeof(bright), &bytesReturned, NULL) )
...
The DeviceIoControl returns non-null. So, it means there is no error, but, the bytesReturned is 0.
I checked the device names using WinObj from the sysinternals. There was no “LCD” device there. Probably it is the reason, but then, the CreateFile should fail.
