I am trying to get the user idle state of my Windows Mobile device.

When I run the function GetSystemPowerState (after 15 min of not touching the device) I get the following value:

Dec: 302055424
Hex: 0x12010000
Bin: 10010000000010000000000000000

I was hoping that PowerState & POWER_STATE_USERIDLE == POWER_STATE_USERIDLE would be true. But POWER_STATE_USERIDLE is 0x01000000 and I have 0x02000000.

I went to look up 0x02000000 and found that it is not in pm.h.

What does 0x02000000 mean? Where could I go to find out?
