    can my app know that windows is shutting down?

    My application has an "Are you sure...?" prompt in "Form_QueryUnload".

    The trouble with this is if windows is shutting down, this prompt gets in the way.

    Can I detect that windows is shutting down so that I can remove this prompt from the procedure?
    This must work on both win2k and win98.
    Thanks,
    John

    Check if UnloadMode = vbAppWindows

    Use The One brenaaro suggested for this instance...

    but, for future reference, here are all the unloadmodes available.
    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)

    2. 'there are 5 unloadmode levels

    3.         Select Case UnloadMode

    4.             Case vbFormControlMenu 'UnloadMode 0

    5.                  'form is being unloaded via the Close

    6.                  'or by hitting the X in the upper right hand corner

    7.                  'command from the System menu

    8.             Case vbFormCode        'UnloadMode 1

    9.                  'Unload Me has been issued from code

    10.             Case vbAppWindows      'UnloadMode 2

    11.                  'Windows itself is closing

    12.             Case vbAppTaskManager  'UnloadMode 3

    13.                  'the Task Manager is closing the app

    14.             Case vbFormMDIForm     'UnloadMod 4

    15.                  'an MDI child form is closing because

    16.                  'its parent form is closing

    17.         End Select

    18. End Sub
