I have a form application that runs in the taskbar. It is an audit trail application that captures all directory activity on a selected directory. I can get everything I want except users logging off of the computer (either logoff or shutdown). I believe the way to do it is through the session ending event handler. But I can't seem to get any activity in the program when Windows logs off. It just simply closes the program.
To attempt to capture the event, I placed a line in the Form1_Load
SystemEvents
.SessionEnding +=new SessionEndingEventHandler(SystemEvents_SessionEnding);
I then create a method like
private
void SystemEvents_SessionEnding(object sender, SessionEndingEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Closing Form");
}
*Actually my code is much longer, but that is not so relevant here. I have the method write an event to an xml file.
Why doesn't this work (other than it's Windows)? Or is there a better method of capturing a user logging off windows?
Note: I don't want to capture users closing the program because they can't close the program. It's supposed to monitor file activity. This is for a regulated computer system.
Thanks
