cancel shutdown

[adom]

Hi Manko, I have done several tests. Now I can say in every case the Tray Icon is present and you click one time on it the registered canceling of shutdown is gone. Even when I tried to combine a GUISWITCH after MouseUp or MouseClick by Tray Icon-Event to give the receivement back to Main-GUI. The same in case of having a viewable GUI which Window is minimized.

Remark: Userdefined Messages defined by _WinAPI_RegisterWindowMessage($iWin_msg_reg_num) are NOT affected.

Solution: Build a separate EXE which has a hidden window to catch the Queryendmessage and send a userdefined message to my Main GUI to get the state.

OS = Vista SP2

This is the other thread:

He got it working the way he wanted. The interesting thing I thought you should have a look at is the options he sets in the beginning of the code. ...there is an option to disable the autopause which happens when you interact with the tray... ?

The trayoneventmode was also interesting...

Might solve things!? check it out!

Hi Mnko,

yes indead I just see what I can learn from that script. Thank you for that hint!

I will do an test with

AutoItSetOption("TrayAutoPause","0") and report.

Hi Manko,

tried with option AutoItSetOption("TrayAutoPause","0"). --> Same problem. 1 click on TrayIcon and shutdown deflection is gone. Btw I have setted some Menue items to the Tray Icon before. Ref to Autoit Help with Menue Items there is no AutoPause. So I think by that way also in my former tests were no AutoPause.

OK so far. I move on with my workaraound using a separate Shutdown Deflector GUI set to hidden and no Tray Icon (#NoTrayIcon).

For people are interested in a solution, the 2 scripts postet by t_bear (http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/...on-winxp/page__view__findpost_) can be helpful.

Hi Manko, last more question: is there a possibility to differ if the shutdown message comes from a Restart or from a Shutdown?

Someone here who can hear me?

[Yashied]

is there a possibility to differ if the shutdown message comes from a Restart or from a Shutdown?

No.

[adom]

Thx Yashied. But Windows should have a Flag for restarting. I know that Win must write a flag into BIOS to tell the Hardware to restart. But is there any entry in Registry that System will be restarted?

Or:

Can it be a way to write a Dummy script which write a Flag in an ini or registry when it receive a resart flag if win has one?

Hi everybody ,

does anybody know, how windows post a flag or something else in Registry so signal that Shutdown was intended as RESTART?

I'm pretty sure that there's no registry setting being changed when the OS tells the computer to reboot. It's all done in the software itself, there's no need for an external flag, the OS logs off and shuts down, but sends a signal to the motherboard that it is rebooting and the computer reboots.

THX to BrewManNH. I am going on to investigate.

Finaly I handle it with a GUI-Decision of User what he wants to do after a shutdown Query is received.

Hi guys, I'm going to ask here my problem as it seems relevant to the subject.

 

What I need is a script that...when Windows is shutting down, it can clean-shutdown an application, wait for the wrapper process to not exist then resume the windows shutdown.

 

The reason is:

I'm running portable applications on my computer. These portable applications use wrapper to make the application portable, the wrapper would copy settings to the computer and run the application, it then will monitor if the application is closed. And if the application is closed, the wrapper will copy back to the application folder, and clean the computer.

 

The problem:

The problem comes when I shutdown the computer. When I shutdown the computer, the system always close the wrapper first, thus, the settings are not saved back to the application folder.

 

I search for a solution to make sure the wrapper to be the last to be closed by the system shutdown. However, I think the only solution is to catch system shutdown, clean-close the application, the wrapper then will notice the application is closed and does its thing.

So far, I have done is:
 

#Include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#Include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#Include <WinAPIEx.au3>
#NoTrayIcon
Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)



If _WinAPI_GetVersion() < '6.0' Then
    MsgBox(16, 'Error', 'Require Windows Vista or later.')
    Exit
EndIf

Global $hForm, $Msg
$hForm = GUICreate('MyGUI', 0,0)
GUIRegisterMsg(0x0011, 'WM_QUERYENDSESSION')

; Set the highest shutdown priority for the current process to prevent closure the other processes.
_WinAPI_SetProcessShutdownParameters(0x03FF)

_WinAPI_ShutdownBlockReasonCreate($hForm, 'Clean Closing Applications...')
While 1
   $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
WEnd

Func WM_QUERYENDSESSION($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam)
    Switch $hWnd
        Case $hForm
            If _WinAPI_ShutdownBlockReasonQuery($hForm) Then
               RunWait("AutoIt3 WinShutdown.au3", "", @SW_HIDE)
               Return 0
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc   ;==>WM_QUERYENDSESSION

WinShutdown.au3 is the script to do clean close to the application.

The RunWait will not run on system shutdown. However, if I put script in it, it can run. For example:

Local $WHnd = WinGetHandle("MozillaWindowClass", "")
WinClose ($WHnd)
For $i = 1 To 2 Step 0
   Sleep(64)
   If ProcessExists("FirefoxPortable.exe") Then ; Check to make sure the wrapper done saving settings
       WinClose ($WHnd)
   Else
       ExitLoop
   EndIf
Next

 

Does it mean that I cannot run a script on windows shutdown? Is there any better solution to my problem, for example making sure the wrapper to be closed last on windows shutdown?

 

Thank you

[EDIT:] Now I think I know why I cannot run a script on shutdown. I believe, because the parent script needs to be on elevated or Admin mode in order to run another script on shutdown. I guess, this should cover my problem.
