i spent so much time looking for this simple code in the internet & msdn. finally i've found it. thanks a lot. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
please suggest me how to shut down the PC using VB.Net ..please send the sub code for it...and mail me at d_srinivas84@yahoo.com (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I want to use this code to execute a procedure called TestRun which runs an external application when the user logs off. How do I add this to the above code?
From my experiments, you can not call TestRun from within the WndProc else the OS will kill it anyway.
The only thing I can think of is:
Private Sub Form1_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Activated 'MessageBox.Show("activated") If SystemShutdown Then SystemShutdown = False Call TestRun() End If End Sub
where SystemShutdown is a boolean which is set after the "x.Msg = WM_CANCELMODE" line. But is this the CORRECT way to do it? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Do I need to reference anything in particular to make this work? I am using VB6 and it doesn't work, it just give me syntax errors on the const's and protected override statement. Thanks (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
plz make such a cool code. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
