`#include <wx/power.h>`

## Detailed Description

Helper RAII class ensuring that power resources are released.

A wxPowerResourceBlocker object acquires a power resource in the constructor and releases it in the destructor making it impossible to forget to release the power resource (which would prevent suspending or screen power off until the application ends).

Example:

void MyWindow::DoSomething()
{
wxPowerResourceBlocker
blocker(wxPOWER_RESOURCE_SYSTEM, "Downloading something important");
if ( !blocker.IsInEffect() )
{
// If the resource could not be acquired, tell the user that he has
// to keep the system alive
wxLogMessage("Warning: system may suspend while downloading.");
}
// Run an important download and the system will not suspend while downloading
for ( int i = 0; i < download.size(); ++i )
download.readByte();
// wxPOWER_RESOURCE_SYSTEM automatically released here.
}
