restrict windows shutdown

[swetham]

I have a program in which if no of hours worked in a day is less than 8 hrs, the system should not shutdown. I have used the following code,

In formclosing event, i have written,

e.cancel=true

It is not allowing the system to shutdown or log off nut it is showing the "End program" message anf if "End now" is pressed, the system is getting shut down. Hoe to prevent the "End program message"?

Maybe the CloseReason property can help. It is accessed via the System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs (e) in the same way as e.Cancel.

The CloseReasons are:

CloseReason.ApplicationExitCall
CloseReason.FormOwnerClosing
CloseReason.MdiFormClosing
CloseReason.None
CloseReason.TaskManagerClosing
CloseReason.UserClosing
CloseReason.WindowsShutDown

Where should i use the close reasons in coding

 

[jebenson]

In the FormClosing event. It is a property of the System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs that is represented as the "e" parameter in the event handler's signature. Use it like this:

If e.CloseReason = CloseReason.UserClosing Then
'do something
End If

Again, I'm not sure which of the CloseReason you would use, or even if this will help with your issue.
