    Windows Hang on Shutdown

    If have an application that exists on the system tray, however if you try to shutdown windows while this application is not closed, windows hangs.

    Just wondering is there anyway to handle this gracefully


    Cheers

    No idea Strider, especially since you haven't posted any info about this app.

    If in the form's closing event you have e.Cancel set to True, Windows will not be able to terminate it automatically. You need to add detection to see if Windows is terminating the program due to Windows shutting down and allow it to.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)
