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 was in correspondence with someone using my program and he verified that on his system, XP won't shutdown/restart either if my program is running.
Basically what happens is when XP gets to my program in the shutdown process to terminate it, the whole shutdown/restart just stops. I have to exit my program, then start the shutdown again.
The person sent me an image of some threads that were still running after the shutdown process halted and I was curious if anyone might be able to shed some light on this info and what to do about these threads.
These are the threads that are running and what they do: mscoree.dll - a module containing the .NET Framework functions. mscorwks.dll - Microsoft .NET Runtime Common Language Runtime gdiplus.dll - contains libraries for the GDI graphics interface.
I've build a vb.net windows service which does nothing but ping a wcf webservice and handles sending a maintenance request to this same webservice at night time. It does both tasks using a timer event. If the service does nothing but these two things it says at startup that it's shutting down cause of being idle. The windows service thread needs something todo.[code]....

View 2 RepliesMy app is a tray icon which scans the Outlook Inbox periodically. It seems, from testing in my VMWare WinXP machine, that the app stops Windows from shutting down. I press StartShutdown but nothing happens. I have to exit the app first then StartShutdown will shutdown the PC.

I have a program with the line process.start("shutdown", "-s -f -t 00") However, when it's executed, everything exits, and the logging off text appears, then the screen blackens out and there's only the mouse pointer. Nothing can be done like opening the task manager, I just have to shut it down using the main button, holding it for 7 sec.

I have a windows forms application that has no form and it runs in the background. It using a webbrowser control to get information off the internet.The program is that when I add the event handler:webbrowser.documentcompleted the program just shuts down. If i put a message box after the event handler then it works just fine because the webrowser has time to load the document. How can I do some like console.readkey that you would do in a console application?

View 1 RepliesI have written an application that sits in the systray and monitors a database for me. The problem is that this application is stopping some of my clients computers from shutting down, I assume because the app is still running when the computer is trying to shut down.
What I need to know is if there is a way that my application can tell when the computer is shutting down, so that I can close my application and therefore allow the computer to shut down.
I am only running my app on Windows O/S e.g. 2000, XP The application is written in VS 2005, .NET 2 and VB.Net language

View 2 RepliesI 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.
I am very new to vb.net. I need to be able to see when a certain popup window appears in another application. The time time it takes to appear varies so I need to know when it appears and in some cases when it has closed.

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 wrote a program that is a system tray app that has no user interface. The issue is that when you shutdown, log off, or restart the PC the app does not shutdown and the user has the "End Now" message box pop up.
The only thing running on this app is that it is listening to a port for communication.
I do not have any code in the form closing event as that is what I want just to close.

View 2 RepliesI have made my application to start automaticly when windows start (registry ../currentversion/run/appname + path). In this mode the application start minimized and an little icon appear in the notification icon area. With this icon you can maximize the app or exit it.If you exit the app and start it again using the Menu (Start/programs etc) than the application start in minimized mode (and in this case I would like to have it in normal mode) because the setting autostart is still true.Is there a way you can detect when the application start when windows startup using the above registry or when people click on an icon in the programs menu (or desktop)?
