No shutown

[speedy6]

Is it possible in autoit to catch a shutown command from windows:

I want to start a scan when the user wants to shutdown the pc, after the scan i will shutdown the computer myself...

Is this possible?

Thanks.

You may test this, I found that here, but never used it since you can set permissions via mmc.

Opt("TrayIconHide", 1)

$WM_QUERYENDSESSION = 0x0011
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_QUERYENDSESSION, "Cancel_Shutdown")
GUICreate("PreventShutdownGUI")
GUISetSTate(@SW_HIDE)
Global $b_ShutdownInitiated = False


While 1
    If $b_ShutdownInitiated = True then
        ;Do stuff here
        ;do some more stuff here
        ;DoTheShutDownStuff();maybe do some more stuff here 
        ;Shutdown();Maybe you want to shutdown the computer when done
        Exit;otherwise, you just exit this script
    EndIf
    sleep(10)
WEnd

Func Cancel_Shutdown($hWndGUI, $MsgID, $WParam, $LParam)
;~     run(@ScriptDir & "\killpgm.exe")
    $b_ShutdownInitiated = True
    Return False
EndFunc

As far as I remind, it just disables the shutdown-graphics, and since windows waits for them to appear, it wait as long as the script is running.

please just askingly. remove that code....

Assuming that script actually works, there's really nothing wrong with it as it's just using the Windows API.

alrighty just on the side of caution...because on slow shutting down systems this can be used for not so nice behavior is all.

Hmm, I found it here, so I assume it wasn't that bad and will not be, but if the mods want to, I have no problem if they remove it.

Here is the original if you want to delete both...

It's actually not such a big deal. If you specify the "force" flag during shutdown, WM_QUERYENDSESSION and WM_ENDSESSION aren't even sent. I'm not sure what flags the shell uses when you invoke shut down that way, but at worst, a user might have to use "shutdown -f" to ensure a forced shutdown.

What is the matter? It a nice script and it works fine but with vista... had anyone a solution for that....
