Is there a way to turn OFF keyboard backlight from BIOS? what BIOs?? Re: ASUS N550JX - how to turn OFF keyboard backlight. To turn ON keyboard backlight and TIMEOUT value. There is no setting that the user can control. Re: ASUS N550JX - how to turn OFF keyboard backlight. Keyboard backlight is awful. My ASUS N551JQ powers up with.
Hi.I'm looking to learn how to control my backlit keyboard on my laptop PC through code; specifically Visual Basic code. I searched through Internet forums but could only find articles about the LED lights for CAPS lock/NUM lock and dimming the screen. However,I want to know if it's possible to programmatically control the light on/off of the keyboard lights, and the intensity of the lights. I have an ASUS laptop Q500A with Intel Core i5 processor. Any thanks or help links are appreciated.Bgeo99. Hi.I'm looking to learn how to control my backlit keyboard on my laptop PC through code; specifically Visual Basic code.

Any thanks or help links are appreciated.Bgeo99This isn't standard PC functionality so you won't find a built-in way to manipulate the backlight.You could attempt to simulate the keystrokes that turn it on and off as someone already mentioned.Or you could probably import the ASUS DLL which contains the code to control the backlight and use their functionality.
Check with ASUS and see if they offer any documentation for their control suite.Reed Kimble - 'When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all'. I don't have a backlit keyboard and can not find information on it to assist you.However I would dowload the and look through different namespaces and classes in each namespace to see if anything presents itself relative to the backlight properties of your keyboard. Although other links I've seen, that have nothing to do with VisualBasic, suggest a kernel mode requirement for turning a backlit keyboard on or off which seems to require a reboot of the PC.Anyhow I have WMI code creator and in the image below I looked at the namespace rootCIMV2 which listed the class Win32Keyboard and you can see in the image that you can click on methods and it will list all the methods available for the class. Perhapsyour laptops WMI can access a method for your keyboard in this namespace and class.Also when you go to launch WMI code creator you should right click on it and launch it to run as administrator in the menu that pops up so it can access everything on the laptop.
Even if you are logged on with admin privileges you still need to do this asthe only programs that are allowed to run as admin when you are logged on with admin privileges are the ones you allow in this fashion or the ones added to Task Scheduler that you have to provide with highest privileges and when you log on, with admin privileges, theycan run with admin privileges. You can find info about that on the net as it has nothing to do with visual basic.And the WMI code creator can create code to perform tasks and even execute the code so you can see what happens (although you may not like the result depending on what happens:).). See the second image below showing created code for the keyboard forone of the properties I picked.
Maybe one of those will provide you with the info you need to control your backlit keyboard.On another note it seems like all the code WMI creates ends up taking over the thread while it runs so your app will not do anything else while it is running. Therefore you may need to create a seperate thread or use a background worker for the WMI codeto run in or something if you add it to a project.

And you may need to launch Visual Studio with admin privileges for testing your WMI app as doing so provides the app running in debugger with admin privileges.Also I forgot to pick the appropriate code language to be displayed and created so you are seeing vb script rather than vb net in the images below. And it will do C# too.Please BEWARE that I have NO EXPERIENCE and NO EXPERTISE and probably onset of DEMENTIA which may affect my answers! Also, I've been told by an expert, that when you post an image it clutters up the thread and mysteriously, over time, the link to the imagewill somehow become 'unstable' or something to that effect.:) I can only surmise that is due to Global Warming of the threads.

However, I did not find anything regarding keyboard lights in the properties.
I tried launching it as an admin but there was no difference.Bgeo99. Well I did some more research and found this information.' Well I had a program that uses the SendMessage function and here is an example of it. This had to do with an app that is a borderless Form and providing access to the System Menu (normally accessed by clicking on the little icon in a Windows Formas shown in the image below) as well as placing the System Menus 'Move' function cursor at a different location than where the System Menu normally would locate it. And then requiring the Form to follow the move commands from the location where the cursorpopped up on a label by reposition the Form around the labels location on the Form whenever the label was moved. As the System Menus 'Move' function, once assigned to the Label's hwnd instead of the Forms hwnd would just move the Label around on the Form.At least that's what I think I remember.
