Hello
I will want to make a small application to stop my PC at one hour precise.
To stop the PC I use the following code:

OpenLibrary(0,"USER32.DLL")

CallFunction(0,"ExitWindowsEx",EWX_POWEROFF,0)

The problem it is that the PC does not stop but Windows closes just the session in progress.
How to make to stop the PC easily?

It would be necessary that the code goes with win9X and NT XP.
Thank you for your assistance.
Also if somebody knows how to know the number of the mother card,
it would be well.

Sorry for my English, but I french

Thank for help me

No need to OpenLibrary() for API calls. Do this:

ExitWindowsEx_() #EWX_POWEROFF

For this function don't use 0 for last argument as 0 makes windows write debug code to disk witch takes extra time instead use something like this:
-> #SHTDN_REASON_MAJOR_APPLICATION|#SHTDN_REASON_MINOR_OTHER

Your code should look like this:

Code: Select all

If ExitWindowsEx_(#EWX_POWEROFF, #SHTDN_REASON_MAJOR_APPLICATION|#SHTDN_REASON_MINOR_OTHER) = #false
  MessageRequester("Error", Str$(GetLastError_()), #PB_MessageRequester_Ok) 
  end
EndIf

I am not able to test this code at this time so I hope it works...

Remove these lines from your program. These are API constants and are NOT to be set by the programmer.

Hope this helps.

My code is:

ExitWindowsEx_(#EWX_POWEROFF, #SHTDN_REASON_MAJOR_APPLICATION|#SHTDN_REASON_MINOR_OTHER)

I have an error message (windows): The memory cannot be "read"

Can anyone verify this error? I will not be able to run this code until I get home several hours from now. If no one else can help then I will work on this when I get home.
