Hi all,

VB 3.0 Pro

        How do I stop a user from quitting out of windows while my App
is still running. (Like the DOS Prompt does)?

Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

The most direct (and easiest) way is to go into you main form's QueryUnload
event.  From there, put in a line of code to check if your program is done.
If it isn't, use 'cancel = true'.

This will stop the shut down.

Taken directly out of the help-file for VB :-<

Sub MDIForm_QueryUnload (Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)

        Dim Msg ' Declare variable.

        ' Set the message text.
        Msg = "Do you really want to exit the application?"
        ' If user clicks the 'No' button, stop QueryUnload.
        If MsgBox(Msg, 36, Me.Caption) = 7 Then Cancel = True
End Sub

Dag.
