C# Client Application Preventing Windows Shutdown

Hello,

I have written this C# application that is causing Windows to not shut
down. That is not the intention of course. Cicking Shutdown on
Windows causes the app to quit, but you have to hit start-shutdown
again to shut down.

Couple things of note:

I am overriding the WndProc method and on shutdown, it is definitley
going into the method, killing the application, and calling the
base.WndProc(re f m) call, which should continue on it's very way. But
it is not, it is as if the cancel item was called.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

It is possible from a .NET application to prevent Windows from shutting down? I understand that a .NET application can "know" that windows is initiating the process of to shutting down - but what about *preventing* that shutdown? (and yes - I know the user can always unplug the machine) Thanks.

I developed a C# Windows App that requires a user to input their real name and what they did to the server while they were online. I am going to launch the app att shutdown via a logoff script. I want to prevent the computer from logging off or shutting down until the app is closed. The best example I have is when you have an unsaved notepad.exe document open and logoff or shutdown, an End Program dialog pops up

Hi, We have a VB.Net application that is sleeping until it receives a logoff/shutdown event. We want the application running on Vista and XP. When the application receives those events it has to show a message box, so the user can answer Yes or No, and then let the logoff/ shutdown process continues.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
