Control Ordering Of Shutdown In Windows
Sep 7, 2011My main Application A starts a 3rd party Application B that runs as a console application. So I don't have access to the Application B source code. When specific things happen in Application A, I can properly launch a vb.net Application C that I built, which properly shuts down Application B, by sending a Ctrl-C signal to it, the same as hitting Ctrl-C in a console window. But I cannot have this occur on Windows shutdown because Application B shuts down on its own before I even have the chance to launch Application C to shut it down. Is there a way to keep some kind of control over Application B when I launch it, or any way to have it be last in the shut down of programs in Windows?

View 2 RepliesTrigger Program Action During Windows Shutdown?
Feb 10, 2009I am designing a program that will show a reminder form when the computer is shutting down. (The reminder is to go outside and get the Bluetooth gps aerial.) I have tried using the formclosing event, (triggered by windows shutting down) to flash the form up on the screen using windowstate = normal. (At loading, the form windowstate = minimised). This did not halt windows shut down and the form was only on the screen for a fraction of a second before windows shut down. Can I trap windows shutdown until the form btn_Yes has been selected?

I have looked at the enumprocess api, but this is quite a bit outside my current knowledge level. From what I have read, enumprocess would be suitable as we all run the same program on our laptops and I could check for the change of state of that program. Eg. �OK, program A is closing, the computer must be about to shutdown, so flash up the reminder form.�

But it doesn't seem to work, Windows shuts down yes but when I re-start the vm and run the app it opens with the old settings, not the ones that I changed before I shut down the vm. Anyone know of a way to do this or to fix the code above, I don't think my OnShuttingdown event is being handled.

View 3 RepliesComputer Shutdown By Button?
Feb 23, 2011I've written a program which I propose to give a local club, which sadly may be'attractive' to pirates so I propose to build in some sort of anti-copying feature.My idea is to hide a file in a folder somewhere in the club's laptop, then on program start up I'll check to see if that file exists and if it's not there, which it's unlikely to be on a pirates machine, I'll flag up a message box saying that if they have a legitimate reason to install the program on a different machine they'll have to contact myself.By way of nuisance value, pressing the 'OK' button on the message box will cause the machine running, what I'm assuming is a pirated copy, to shut down.I've been looking at the VB.NET forum and MSDN for ideas as to how to achieve this and the general opinion seems to be:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Process.Start("shutdown", "-s")

Execute Script On Shutdown?
Feb 28, 2009I have a fully working application which runs in the background while a user is logged in. What I need the application to do, is disconnect itself from the database, save the users settings and close itself when the user shuts the computer down or logs off.I know how to do those things, the issue I am facing is figuring out how to detect when the computer is logging off or shutting down. I thought about using log off scripts to do this but then it would be impossible to call classes and methods from my application as the log off scripts are not associated with my application at all. Are there any other methods of telling my application when the computer is shutting down and then run some lines of code?

Dec 24, 2009I'm trying to create a way for the User of my application to Log Off, Shutdown, or Restart the PC.
The idea is that User can more quickly access these options from my application and if they choose, force these actions instead of waiting for the OS to respond.
Here's how I'm trying to do it:
CODE:
Log Off works just fine. It's shutdown and restart that doesn't work. From the research that I've done, the Consts seem fine and the function obviously works correctly because Log Off works. I am running the application as an administrator, so that should affect it.
