warning message on log off when application is running

[fmartin]

How can I make a warning message when a user is trying to logoff windows while an application made with labview is still running ?

I want to pop something that ask the user if he's sure he wants to quit.

thanks

When a user logs off two things will happen:

LV will display a message with the text: Quit will abort all running VIs. With two buttons Quit and Cancel.

Windows will detect, that the programm is not ending and will display a message about this and a time is running after that Windows will abort the program. This time can be set somewhere in the Windows settings.

Thanks for the help but this works only with VIs, not with the executable. When I log off, the executable close without any warnings. Any ideas on that?

fmartin,

Have you seen the Application Instance Close? event?

I was working on just this issue today. Here is a vi (in 7.1.1) and an exe showing it. The exe has been renamed to a .llb to get around some attachment restrictions, so rename it (after scanning with you antivirus of choice!).  I can make it in 8.0 if needed (don't currently have 8.2 installed)

Thanks a lot to both of you!
