PMMon monitors your system for Win32 power management events that are sent to all application windows, under the WM_POWERBROADCAST window message. These messages are then decoded and displayed in a log window. Where possible, the delta between previous and current values are shown. The current battery power level (if available) is shown in a colored bar at the top of the window. This is useful for developers as well as notebook or other mobile computer users, or the terminally curious.
This is useful for developers as well as notebook or other mobile computer users, or the terminally curious. I whipped this up because I couldn’t find anything like it out on the internet, or any built-in methods of monitoring power management events. If you know of any other ways to do this, please feel free to let us know about it.
