Hi,
i am trying to save some data in a excel spreadsheet, whenever the programm
shuts down.
Mostly this happens when a user is logging off or shuts the computer down.
im am using the
Private Sub Form1_Closing(B yVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Componen tModel.CancelEv entArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing
to save the data before the shutdown.
The problem is that i can't open excel. Windows is prompting that it can't
close my programm. And i am getting
some error messages like error code 800800005. Which is leading me to am MS
Website but that's not solving
my problem. Is there a chance to open excel somehow while windows is
shutting down, or do i have to save my data
in a different way?
thanks in advance

I would save your data quickly to text, and then next time app starts
up read this into excel?

Hello dermot,
I would subclass the window procedure and trap the request to shutdown/restart
message. Return whatever value is required to abort the shutdown. Do your
dealio with excel, then initiate a second shutdown request prgrammatically .

Hello,
thanks for your answers.
I am trying it with subclassing. And it's working so thanks a lot. But
is there a way to get the information wether the user is logging off or
shutting the computer down?
I know about WM_CLOSE, but i think it only tells me that the user is
shutting down, logging off or restarting. I would like to know what
exactly he is doing, so that i can continue his command after i've
saved my data in excel.
cheers

I wrote a program running on windows.
I put the link of the program in "Start up" folder and let it executed
minimized.
Every time when I open the computer, my program will be running in system
tray.
But if the user would like to shutdown the computer, the OS will show an
error about exception.
At first, I think windows will terminate all processes when it shutdown.

Through this device driver I can detect that the UPS is going to notify

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.

Shut down Windows
For various reasons you may require a shut down of Windows to happen programmatically. For instance if the installation of your program requires system reconfiguration. The following code will do this for you with options to Reboot, etc.
'Module code - modShutdown
' Shutdown Flags
Const EWX_LOGOFF = 0
Const EWX_SHUTDOWN = 1

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,...
