If you’ve ever developed an application that minimises the application when the user closes it, you will know that the application can stop Windows from shutting down or you from logging off.
There is a bit of nice simple code that stops this from occurring.
Private allowClose As Boolean = False Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load 'This bit of code adds the event handler that deals with closing down the application when Windows shuts down or logs off AddHandler Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.SessionEnding, AddressOf SessionEnding End Sub Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing If Not allowClose Then Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Me.Visible = False e.Cancel = True Else 'We allow the form to close End If End Sub Private Sub SessionEnding(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.Win32.SessionEndingEventArgs) allowClose = True Application.Exit() End Sub
VB.Net detect Windows shutting down or logging off
Thank you, just what i am looking for.
The power on the internet once again.
