Based on the subject line I assume you are asking about user mode. You have
to return BROADCAST_QUERY_DENY from the message handler. Note though that
there is no documented method to distinguish between S3 and S4 transitions
in user mode.

Do not veto hibernate, only bad software does this.

The reason is that the notebook owners silently assume that the machine
goes hibernate on cover close. With your "ultra-smart" software, it will
continue to run even with closed cover, will be put to a bag in running state
and thus will be physically damaged by heat.

Jake Oshins from MS's core OS team once said the same on forums (on OSR's
mailing list IIRC) - do not veto standby and hibernate.

Agreed, obviously excepting circumstances such as: my program is
controlling a 10-ton lathe, and it's running right now, so hibernating
the machine might not be the best idea...

Yes. The facility is still provided, but it is for serious cases like you
have described, and not to satisfy the tastes of technically illiterate
marketoids who define the product spec in some companies.
