Logging Off/ Logging Out / Shutdown

[nassausky]

I am trying to create a time management software for PC's at my library and was looking for an example or info on how to have an HMG application automatically logout at a certain time but the timing shouldn't be a problem. The tough part is to find the xbase code or example to actually do the logout or shutdown.

Thanks!

I think you can use windows shutdown with -l option:
execute file "shutdown.exe -l"

which is placed in windows\system32 folder by default.

Hi,

A little example:

Code: Select all

#include "hmg.ch"

Function Main
	
	DEFINE WINDOW frmMain ;
		AT 0,0 ;
		WIDTH 400 ;
		HEIGHT 400 ;
		TITLE 'ShutDown' ;
		MAIN
		
		DEFINE BUTTON btnShutDown
			ROW	200
			COL	 40
			CAPTION	"ShutDown!!! - WARNING"
			ACTION	{ ShellExecute( 0, "Open", "C:\Windows\System32\ShutDown.exe", " -s -t 0", 0, 1 ) }
			WIDTH	160
			HEIGHT	40
		END BUTTON

	END WINDOW

	ACTIVATE WINDOW frmMain
	
Return

I tested on Windows Vista and it worked fine, please be careful!!!
