Dear sir or madam,

I just learning to write c++ console app, and now encounter the problem of handling the windows-CLOSE event properly.

Here's the context:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now the program is runing, if I click the X on the top right conner of console forms, the program trigger a breakpoint(haven't set the breakpoint manually) unexpected and the screen print:

forrtl: error (200): program aborting due to window-CLOSE event

I have search through the internet,method post in codeproject such as:
Console Event Handling[^]

did not work in win7, and one of this article's reader confirm this, he introduce to use 'Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents class'

I try but still fail, and one article name 'Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.SessionEnding Does Not Work' url: http://vbcity.com/forums/t/165037.aspx

explain this class don't work in visual studio compiler .

has anyone run into this problem before?

can someone introduce a successful solution of event handling in the context of : win7 64bit,VS2010,C++ win32 console ?

thanks you very much!

Solution 1

I already explained the issue in your previous question at forrtl: error (200): program aborting due to window-CLOSE event[^]. You cannot capture Windows events/messages in a console program.

Thanks Richard,

There must be some problem in my console project.

Just now I switch the console project to winForm project and the problem was gone...

Thanks you again for the kindly help!
