One of the functions of my app includes the scheduling of events and handling of waking the computer from sleep at event time. However if the user has the screensaver/wake password security enabled there is a prompt that appears when the computer wakes and my app can't get past it to do what it has to do. Is there a way to authenticate via my app so that prompt does not appear?

Does anyone have any ideas for a solution?

Many thanks,
Jerry

I'm surprised that your app can't continue running whilst the prompt is there. I'm pretty sure other parts of the system will continue running.


I don't think you should be trying to get rid of the prompt since it's there to protect the user when they leave the machine. I would have thought the best thing to do is to find a way of running code whilst the prompt is still visible, but then I don't know exactly what your app. is trying to do.
