How do I know when Windows tells my program to close?

Hi all,

I have a program that has this basic flow:
1- Splash screen opens and creates a system tray icon (the splash
screen is the main form that is started on program execution, and
stays hidden to be the form that the tray icon "belongs to")
2- From the tray icon, multiple forms are opened up for data entry
3- User may or may not exit the program from the system tray icon

If Windows shuts down, how does my program receive notification? Will
Windows try to close my program before the individual forms that were
opened?

Thanks,

Kevin

This is from my previous post, but a different issue. I have the following Javascript routine that opens a popup page, but doesn't seem to work if called from an asp.net button. It seems to work fine from a link. The button does bring up the popup window, but when I press the links on the page, it doesn't return or close the window. ****************************************************************************

How is the best way to avoid validation when closing a window? For instance, I have a Windows Forms window which has a validation event for a text box. However, if one enters invalid data in then and then attempts to close the window (either via my custom 'Close' box or by clicking the close 'X' in the upper right window corner), the validation event still triggers and it tells the user that they have invalid data. Which of course means...

Hi, I've been having a problem with C++ Windows Forms apps not "ending" when you close the form window. I've searched about this problem all over the place and most searches have lead me to believe that this has to do with unreleased form component events or event handlers. I'm comparatively new to .net and windows forms, in the sense that though I've been using them for over 2 years now, it's been rather sporadic. I work with...

Hi guys. I''m curious about what happens when windows shuts down. I have a program running that saves data into a file when the form's closing method is invoked. So when Windows shuts down, does it call this method? Plus, i need to implement the method in a way that, when the user clicks the X button on the form, the program minimizes and a notify icon appears. The problem is if i call e.cancel, to cancel the close, Windows doesn't shut...

Overview: 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,...
