why this API (SetSystemPowerState) can not change the system power state??

Does anyone can tell me why?

My system power state is in useridle mode, when I got an event in my driver
under CE 5.0, I want to change the system power state from useridle to on,
so I call this API, SetSystemPowerState(L"on",0,0); but it does not work,
the system power state still keep in useridle mode, and I could not get the
PBT_TRANSITION notification either. It seems that my system could not
broadcast the PBT_TRANSITION notification.

Anyone can give me some advice? Thank you all very much.

Ricky
