Ah what?
Windows does NOT save the screen!
Windows just asks all windows to repaint to get a screen update.
If you mean that your screen saver cobblers the destop image, then:
1. You need to send a resresh method to get all windows to repaint
themselves, or
2. Create your own Bitmap, and firststore the screen image, then paint
it back later.

No don't think such an event exists!
If you want the screen to be blanl before your screen saver starts, then
(say) try painting a big black square over the screen!
