Is there any way to detect within A97 when Windows is trying to shut
down, so I can close down the application gracefully?
We currently have a trap in the main menu asking the user to confirm if
they want to shut the application. If the user is not at his desk and
power fails and the UPS instructs Windows to close, then Windows will
not shut down till the Access dialog is dismissed. Result = a flat
battery and a crashed PC.
Thanks.

Hi guys ,
I face a peculiar problem.
I have a mutithreaded software trhat uses sockets to connect to my
webserver.
The problem is that while my software is running , windows is unable to
reboot/logoff or shut down.
I have to shut down the software before windows can do this.
Any suggestions on why this could be happening?
Thanks/Regards
Sanket Gupta

Running XP pro, SP2. Visual studio .NET 2003. App written in C#
I have written an application that hides itself when run and shows a
notification icon in the system tray.
If the main form is visible/restored to the desktop, and I tell windows to
restart, windows shuts down fine.
If the main form is minimized to the tray and I tell windows to restart,
other desktop apps close down fine but my program's icon remains sat in the

Ok, so here is the problem. I'm working on a headless server program
implemented as a .NET C# Console project. There is a UPS mounted to
this server (though not a windows compliant UPS). I can only talk to
the UPS over a special device driver.
Through this device driver I can detect that the UPS is going to notify
Windows 2000 server to shut down. So I start doing a graceful
termination. But Windows shuts down pretty quickly and there...

Hi,
I wrote a Windows service for a client a few months ago, and the client has
now asked me to modify it so that it shuts itself down under certain
circumstances e.g. a catastrophic failure of the network, SQL Server
connectivity problems etc.
I've tried to explain that this probably isn't a very good idea nor is it
even necessary because the service has sufficient error and exception
handling code to take account of such situations...

Hello,
I have a windows service. When the onstart fires, my app creates two
threads. The first is a processing thread and the second is a watcher that
makes sure the everything is ok with the first thread. When a problem is
detected the second (watcher) thread stops the processing thread and then
throws an exception. This exception does not stop the service like I would
think.
My question is, what is the best way for the watcher...

down, but it was taking awhile to actually shut down, so I just held down the
ON/OFF button. I let it sit for a few hours and I turned it on and I get a

Hello.
I have a little problem. I created a little Service which uses SIP, all works rather well, but when I want to shut it down in the Services panel, it looks as if it's shut down, but in fact it's not:
- when I try want to delete the .DLL file, I can't: the file is still locked
- if I "Start" my Service again, it refuses
I have to wait like ~20s, and then it is really shut down.
When I shut down the Service, and then try to Start it...

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

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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

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,...
