The C++ language has no concept of "shutting down windows". Your
question is off topic for this newsgroup. You should ask questions like
this in a newsgroup which deals with Windows.
However, since I do actually know the answer:
ExitWindowsEx(E WX_SHUTDOWN | EWX_FORCEIFHUNG , -1);
Or if you want the system logs on WinXP to show something meaningful:
ExitWindowsEx(E WX_SHUTDOWN | EWX_FORCEIFHUNG , SHTDN_REASON_MA JOR_OTHER |
SHTDN_REASON_MI NOR_OTHER | SHTDN_REASON_FL AG_PLANNED);

Yes, I've already got it. It's called GNU/Linux.
And what's better, you don't need Windows to run it!!!
Dhruv. Is there some code to shut it down forever ?

Thanks for the helt.
About "Off topic": The c++ language has no concept of planets and gravity
either. Still I can make a program usinc c++ that simulates a system of
planets, just like I can now make a program that shuts down windows. So no,
I don't think it's off topic!!!

The problem is that I tried using the functions that were cited on my
embedded tapedrive system and the compiler complained. Where in the
_standard_ C++ library are these functions?
How can I shutdown the tapedrive by using these functions?
How does it handle the motors?
How can I turn off the laser printer by using these functions?
Hmmm. I guess your topic isn't about _standard_ C++ but about
a platform specific implementation.
I can model a universe on any platform that supports _standard_
C++ as long as I don't use any platform specific code. Discussion
of the functions would be on topic. However, discussion of
functionality that doesn't run on every platform is off-topic.
If I have a home control (embedded) system that has the ability
to open windows to control the indoor temperature and only an
LED display, can it run windows? Is it a Windows platform?

I see that Matthews is clearly still trying to find a loophole... in
order to "bypass a prison". Oh boy. Give it up, Matthews. Don't waste
time, really. http://google.com/groups?selm=3EFC57...34616%40web.de
Yes, it IS a Windows platform. Undoubtedly. What else?! http://www.microsoft.com/windows/Emb...se/default.asp http://www.microsoft.com/windows/Emb...aq/default.asp

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

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.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
