Shut Down

[KevDog]

Hi,

I am writing a program that runs hidden in the background. My only problem is that when I run it, and then shut down or restart windows 98 se, it will not close it. It makes me close it after it says that it is not responding. How do I make it shut down automatically, when windows shuts down??


Thanks,


Kevin

I think you'll have to subclass and handle the message for Windows shutdown (look it up in MSDN). I can't think of another way off the top of me head

Thanks,

But that site on Microsoft no longer is there. They want you to buy some software. Is there any other way to find this info.??

Thanks,

You can always refer to the Microsoft Online Library at >> http://msdn.microsoft.com/isapi/msdn...m/hh1start.htm

Hi,

I still can not find it there. Any other ways I can find this info. This is killing me.


Thank,

If your app has a form, you could use the QueryUnload event to find out when windows is closing.

Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
    If UnloadMode = vbAppWindows Then
        Unload Me   'or whatever needed to close the app
    End If
End Sub

Hi,

My app does not have a form on a module. Will this still work??


Thanks,

Put in a form , and hide it at startup:
me.hide

Hi,


I tried it in a form and then my program would not run. So, I put it in a module, and I am using Sub Main() and it works. Is there a Equivalent to Sub Form_Unload for Sub Main(). Also, unload.me will not work, and End will not either. What code do I enter to close the module??


Thaks,
