When u log off or shutdown

[UnfitElf]

Hi people,

I have a progrm that writes all its settings to the registry when the user closes the application.. what ive noticed is happening though is when the user logges off without closing the application nothing is written to the registry. Obiviously somehow windows is closing the app but its not recieving a WM_DESTROY message...

How does Windows close applications and how can i write my stuff to the registry before windows closes it???

Thank

Try handling WM_CLOSE

Such as in Windows XP if a user logs off the programs do not have to close. They continue running until the system is shutdown. Im not sure exactly how this works though i have had issues because of this in the past where a user logs off, and it just acts like the user has changed users.

Thanks for the replys, i have since found the solutution:

WM_ENDSESSION

Thanks again
