How can i close my shell applicaction and close (or restart ) the sistem
too?
When i only close my aplication, it always re-starts.

Now I'm trying calling ExitWindowsEx( EWX_SHUTDOWN, 0) and ExitWindowsEx(
EWX_REBOOT, 0) in my applicaction and capturing WM_QUERYENDSESSION message,
but i get access violation adress at ntdll.dll
It works with Xp prof .

Any idea please?

I'm using Delphi.
 
Josu,

You should look in the NG archive. This topic has been discussed many times
here and even with regards to Delphi Shell apps.

Either one, right?
You will need to adjust token first to set enough process privileges to do
the shutdown.
Check the code here

It is C/C++ code but you can easily convert it to Delphi (Pascal).

Does your app actually do anything on WM_QUERYENDSESSION? Hope you return
TRUE from the message handler.

For you it would be easier to launch a command like
- "xpepm.exe -reboot" (include "Power Management Application"
component in to your image),
- or "shutdown -r" (include "Misc. Command Line Tools"
component),
- or even "fba.exe -reboot" with the fba working directory.

Thankssss... KM... I set the privileges and return TRUE from the message
handler.

I'll try with xpepm.exe -reboot and shutdown -r... Thanks very much...

Anyway what means NG archive?
