Method 1:

Then In Your File Menu, You can use it like this:
Or To Reboot The System:
Method 2:
Now, I'm not sure which version of windows you will be running this app on. An alternative method to using the API, is that if you are using a later version of windows, such as XP, and I think Win2k Also, There is a command for shutting down the system from the command line. You could use this in your app, if it will be used only on later versions of windows:
To Shutdown:
And To Reboot:
Wow, that was a bit long winded! I hope one of these methods works for you, please post and let us know how it turns out.
In your project, add a new standard module, and put this in it:
public Declare Function ExitWindowsEx Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal uFlags As Long, ByVal dwReserved As Long) As Long
public const EWX_FORCE = 4
public const EWX_LOGOFF = 0
public const EWX_POWEROFF = 8
public const EWX_REBOOT = 2
public const EWX_SHUTDOWN = 1
public function Shutdown_Windows
Dim retval As Long ' return value
retval = ExitWindowsEx(EWX_SHUTDOWN Or EWX_FORCE, 0)
Shutdown_Windows = retval
end sub
public function Reboot_Windows
Dim retval As Long ' return value
retval = ExitWindowsEx(EWX_REBOOT Or EWX_FORCE, 0)
Shutdown_Windows = retval
end subThen In Your File Menu, You can use it like this:
retval = Shutdown_Windows()
Or To Reboot The System:
retval = Reboot_Windows()
