VS 2008 Detect Windows Shutdown/Logoff?
Jun 20, 2010
I have an application that starts from Sub Main and I need to run a sub when the system is about to shut down, restart or logoff so it can save it's settings. I found some code on google:
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Public Sub Main
AddHandler SystemEvents.SessionEnding, AddressOf OnShuttingdown
[Code]....
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.

I am trying to capture SHUTDOWN and LOGOFF Events, so that I can be alerted when my process stops. The below code works in detecting these events. I am trying to get it to release the monitoring of the system events after the email has been sent, Being newer to VB, I am not sure how to do this. I copied this code from another google forum.

I'm making a screensaver with the added option of shutting down/oggingoff/hibernating/sleeping at a user-defined time. Now, I'm fine for all my code except for the scripts for these events.

What i wish to find is a message or the like that I can use to detect between specific 'shutdown' like events, ie: I wish to be able to find the difference between a shutdown, restart, logoff and sleep initiation.
The problem i have found (as displayed below) is using oClosingEvent.CloseReason the return types provide no further information other then the WindowsShutDown constant (the others are obviously irrelevant in this case).
Private Sub frmMain_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
Dim oClosingEvent As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs

I want to detect when employees in our company are shutting down or restarting their computers. Is there a Windows API Call that will do that which I can hook onto? I found WindowsExitEX but it actually restarts the computer!

I've been making a program and for it I need to be able to detect shutdown. I've been told to do vbAppWindows etc. but there's a problem. For some reason it says "vbAppWindows is not declared" Does anyone have another way of doing it?Then I've used my.settings throughout the program and it has just started to not work. It wont save anymore.

I'm working on a web browser named Hyvar.NET and i'd like to integrate a form of shutdown detection into it.
Currently, it simply uses a tri-option setting to decide how it opens - like this
If My.Settings.LoadLastOnStart = True Then
frm.wbTab.Navigate(My.Settings.LastOpenedPage.ToString)
ElseIf My.Settings.HomeOnStart = True Then
[Code]....
Each variable is appropriately named for its job as you can see.
However, i want to change this to react to correct and incorrect shutdowns - unexpected and user instigated ones for example. I.E: if the settings variable for the detection contained 0x000000, it could indicate a clean exit and continue as normal with a new session, but 0x000001 would indicate an unclean shutdown and present the user with an option of reopening the last session or continueing as normal, like in IE 7/8
Im 100% sure this will require a windows API call

Is there any way to determine that a system has automatic updates enabled and has the little yellow security center icon indicating that updates are available? I'd like to drop a little service on one of my servers to monitor for that condition but can't find a good resource to get started.

My 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?

I 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 think this msdn library article is talking about this. [URL]
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.�

Is there any way to turn off a remote pc that's not by using shutdown /s /m \computer name etc...I just want to turn off the server computer at night from my laptop. Is it possible to make the program check for pings and then shutdown? Or is there an easier way? (Maybe if I'm not on the local network send over a "signal"(?) to the pc so that it'll shut down..?)

I'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.

I was woundering if there is anyway via VB.net to have only two option on vista's shutdown menu. I only need "Logoff" and "Hibernate". just woundering if there was anyway possible to have these two options.

I have a distributed print control application that is done in a combination VB6 and Visual C++. The application launches at startup on a workstation and waits for a user to login. Once that happens, we track time in the session, along with how many print jobs the guy performs.
We have separate session SW that allows a person to add money to their accounts. The problem is that if there's an active session, typically due to the individual being logged into one of the above mentioned workstations, I can no longer ensure updates to the DB will be atomic.
I would like to have the money terminal send a log off command to the remote workstation session if it detects a user is currently logged in elsewhere. But I'm not sure if there's an existing API for this.

I am using WM_QUERYENDSESSION to detect Windows shutting down in my vb.net app, but the complexity is that I need to quickly load a console application during this code to do some cleanup. It is looking like the console
application is not even loading, even though I can cause delays in the vb.net code. Is there a way to do this?

I know you can do it with an WMI event or overriding WndProc and looking for the right messages, but i was wondering if there wasn't something hidden in the net framework that makes this task easyer.

I know the default install path of the app and the name of the .exe file, but is there a way to see if it is actually installed? I've seen suggestions for checking registry entries, but I don't know if this app uses any or if if varies for different users on different pc's.

Is there for my .Net application to detect if a user has logged on? It is a Windows Service, so it will be running before logon.What I want to do is display a "popup" when a user logs on to tell them the status of the application

I need to produce an error display message when the Windows Mobile PDA is in flight mode. The user will need to pull and push data from a SQL Server server; however when in flight mode this is not doable and a message needs to be displayed. Currently the message that is displayed is:
A request to send information the the computer using IIS has failed. For more results please see HRESULT.
I am programming using VB.Net and I am fairly new to it. I have searched for the past week on the Internet and come across information suggesting that I use TAPI, however I do not know what to import, or where the "flight mode detection" code would go in my application.
