I have an app that I want to keep open (and hidden with an icon in the
taskbar) when the user presses the 'X' close window button. So I capture
the Closing event on the form and check a bool variable, which if set, sets
e.Cancel on the ClosingEventArg s and sets the Form.Visible=fa lse and the
Form.ShowInTask bar=false. I have a menu item in the window that allows the
user to actually exit the program by unsetting the bool and then exiting.
The problem is that this apparently prevents the computer from shutting
down, because the e.Cancel is getting set during a shutdown operation. How
can I determine when it is the system requesting closure of the window
instead of the user?

Hi mdb,
In the Closing event, read the StackTrace to determine who called the method.
The 7th last StackFrame is the method triggering the event.
protected override void OnClosing(Cance lEventArgs e)
{
StackTrace trace = new StackTrace();
StackFrame frame = trace.GetFrame( 7);
if(frame.GetMet hod().Name != "DispatchMessag eW")
e.Cancel = true;
}
DispatchMessage W is the same as Task Manager-closing of your application, not sure if it would be the same for system shutdown.
"RunDialog"/"SendMessag e" = closed by code. ie this.Close();
"DefWndProc " = User close, X or Alt-4

Handle the WM_QUERYENDSESS ION mesage in your overriden WndProc for your
form.
Something like this should do..
private static bool shutdownRequest ed = false;
protected override void WndProc(ref Forms.Message msg)
{
const int WM_QUERYENDSESS ION = 0x11;
if (msg.Msg==WM_QU ERYENDSESSION)
{
// set this flag to true if the System is about to shutdown
// Check this flag in your Closing handler.
shutdownRequest ed = true;
}
// If this is WM_QUERYENDSESS ION, the closing event should be fired
// in the base WndProc
base.WndProc(m) ;
}

James,
This flag is set when the CLR is about to shut down not as a direct result
of a system shutdown, this flag is set way after the Closing events are
fired and as such cannot be used in this scenario.

Because OP needs to do some processing before the Closing event gets fired,
see Remarks in SessionEnding to how this should be done.

Hi,
I have a problem with Application.Run() when Windows is shutting down.
Please have a look at the copy&paste example program below.
The application has no forms. It has only got a notify icon in the
system tray and it uses Application.Run() to keep the message loop
running. When the user clicks the icon, the application should shut down
and exit. So far that works fine.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
