The one way to take the result is
Code
MsgBox(BatteryStatus.GetStatus.BatteryLifePercent)* - julian - May 2, 2010
The structure should have an attribute applied (for stability):
Code
<StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)> _
Structre ...BatteryFlags should have the Flags() attribute applied, as it is a flags enum:
Code
<Flags()> _
Enum BatteryFlags as Byte
