Questions about OnAutoItExitRegister function.

[AndreyS]

Tell me why when I shut down Windows, OnAutoItExitRegister function is activated twice?

This is an example of the reference

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

OnAutoItExitRegister("MyTestFunc")
OnAutoItExitRegister("MyTestFunc2")

Sleep(1000)

Func MyTestFunc()
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Exit Results 1", 'Exit Message from MyTestFunc()')
EndFunc   ;==>MyTestFunc

Func MyTestFunc2()
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Exit Results 2", 'Exit Message from MyTestFunc()')
EndFunc   ;==>MyTestFunc2

Is activated as many times as many

OnAutoItExitRegister("")

you got.

[AndreyS]

You probably do not understand.
msgbox function operates not twice, but four times!

[careca]

I see, is that the whole code? Or is there more?

[AndreyS]

Yes, it's all the code! I copied from the reference example.

[careca]

Ok so here's why i asked: there's no loop in your code, so when you say it happens uppon windows shutdown, it has to be running in loop.

If you execute the code as is, it will start outputing the msgboxes right away, and exit.

So im not able to reproduce that behaviour. Not even with a loop, and shuting down windows, in fact, i compiled it with a loop, and no msgbox was shown.

[AndreyS]

Then I will describe the process in more detail.
1. I finish work Windows.
2. Windows displays a message that can not close the session because of the message of the script.
3. I cancel shutdown Windows.
4. The script gives me four times MsgBox.

[BrewManNH]

When I run that script I get 2 msgboxes. Maybe you shouldn't try shutting windows down when you have that script running to eliminate that issue.

there are quirks with AutoItOnExitRegister(). to eliminate this one, you may want to call AutoItOnExitUnRegister() at the end of each of the registered functions.

Ohhh no! I apologize. I forgot that the pause time should be great to do!

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

OnAutoItExitRegister("MyTestFunc")
OnAutoItExitRegister("MyTestFunc2")

Sleep(100000)

Func MyTestFunc()
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Exit Results 1", 'Exit Message from MyTestFunc()')
EndFunc   ;==>MyTestFunc

Func MyTestFunc2()
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Exit Results 2", 'Exit Message from MyTestFunc()')
EndFunc   ;==>MyTestFunc2

Please try this code.

Just did, compiled and ran, started windows shutdown, there was a error window, and it was gone so fast i didn't even had time to read it.

No other message box at all, and windows shut down. Windows 10 btw.

I have done many tweaks in windows so, it might be due to that.

Things like, force close all processes on shutdown might be one of them.

I'm also on Win 8.1 and 10 tested. Somehow, given 4 message.

[AndreyS]

No one has explanations and guesses about it?
Perhaps the event which causes function OnAutoItExitRegister occurs twice: during shutdown Windows and when you stop and return to the user's session?!

AndreyS,

When this is running at shutdown...

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

OnAutoItExitRegister("MyTestFunc")
OnAutoItExitRegister("MyTestFunc2")

Sleep(100000)

Func MyTestFunc()
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Exit Results 1", 'Exit Message from MyTestFunc()')
EndFunc   ;==>MyTestFunc

Func MyTestFunc2()
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Exit Results 2", 'Exit Message from MyTestFunc()')
EndFunc   ;==>MyTestFunc2

I get two messages (admin account/Win7 Pro).

You're running a script, called shutdown Windows, are back in session and has issued only two messages?
