Automatic Shutdown

[sk8ndestroy14]

Okay, so here's the challenge. I want a continously running program that will automatically close all running programs, log off the user account and shut down the computer when the batterly life of my laptop reaches a certain amount. First of all, can that be done with visual basic and second of all, how would it be done?

Does nobod know the answer to this?

Hmm..... If I know the event subroutine for a battery drain status. I would put it here. But I would put some code without the subroutine encasing it. and the shutdown command automatically logs off every user in the computer. And as for a app with startup, I'd need to find a way to make the program put itself on startup.

'shutting down....

Private Sub 
Shell "shutdown -s -f -t 00", vbWindowMinimized
End Sub

Okay, I'll try that out for now.

You need to use the SysInfo Control. It has properties for ACStatuse, BatteryFullTime, BatteryLifePercent, BatteryLifeTime, and BatteryStatus. It will also tell you when the power status changes, among many other things.
