How to block a user shutdown or logoff?

[ShaluMalu]

Hello everybody! I would like to know if there is any way to block a user from shutting down or logging off the system. Or atleast postpone the shutdown process for a particluar time interval. Is it possible to do that? I humbly request to respond me! Thanks in advance! regards, Shalini

Handle WM_QUERYENDSESSION message is your application. return FALSE to stop the shutdown of logoff process.

if (message == WM_QUERYENDSESSION)
{
if(allow)
{
return TRUE;
}
else
{
return FALSE;
}
}

overide the WM_QUERYENDSESSION message and return 0. And after you have done your time interval call ExitWindows() to shutdown.

Handle WM_QUERYENDSESSION and return false from there.. then shutdown the window using InitiateSystemShutdown api
