Visual Studio233
Hello



I have made a program that runs as a service.

My program does not shut down correctly when windows is restarted or shut

down.



It seems as if my service handler is never called (only the service main

function is called at start up). If I stop the service manually from

services.msc (I am using win xp pro) the service handler is called correctly

and the programs shuts down correctly.



My program has a window that is closed when the users logs off the computer

(by overriding CWnd::OnEndSession), but how do I know tell if OnEndSession

has been called because the computer is being shutdown or if it has been

called because the user is logging off??



cheers

determine if windows is shutting down or if the user is logging off.

if (GetCurrentMessage()->lParam & ENDSESSION_LOGOFF) // user logoff



else // computer shutdown







However if you shut down the computer from the welcome screen (when no user

has logged on & thus OndEndSession does not work) my program does not shut

down correctly.



When the computer is shut down it seems that no message is sent to either

the service handler function or to call to



WTSWaitSystemEvent(WTS_CURRENT_SERVER_HANDLE,WTS_EVENT_ALL,&EventFlags); in

the service main function.







Happy new year!

I suppose you call RegisterServiceCtrlHandler(Ex)? Does your handler receive

SERVICE_CONTROL_SHUTDOWN?

Yes I have used RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerEx to register the service

handler.

When I close the service manually (clicking stop service in services.msc) it

does receive

SERVICE_CONTROL_STOP



.

It never receives SERVICE_CONTROL_SHUTDOWN when the computer shuts down.

This may help:



When the user shuts down the system, all control handlers that have called

SetServiceStatus with the SERVICE_ACCEPT_SHUTDOWN control code receive the

SERVICE_CONTROL_SHUTDOWN control code.
