Thread: Displaying the Shut Down Windows dialog

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a function that will display the Shut Down Windows dialog. Apparently, in VB you can declare function "#60" in shell32.dll and it'll come up, but how do you do that in C/C++?

Yes! I figured it out!

I first have to use LoadLibrary to get the module handle for the DLL, then GetProcAddress to get the address for the function, like so:-

Code:

FARPROC SHShutdownWindows;
HMODULE hShellDll;

hShellDll = LoadLibrary("shell32.dll");
SHShutdownWindows = GetProcAddress(hShellDll, MAKEINTRESOURCE(60));

Then, by calling the function:-

Code:

(*SHShutdownWindows)(0);

I get a rather spiffy Shut Down Windows dialog. Easy when you know how :P
