[Mono-dev] Status of Win32/SystemEvents

[mabra at manfbraun.de]

Hello !

Thanks for the reply.

My app will be two-fold: A service-like element and an UI like
element. I have the biggest need for this event in the service
layer - and now, according to your insides - I am out of hope?

How does other software handle this [pre-shutdown notification,
time-chnages and so on] ?? I've just read about "upstart". Is
there a common API to that, so I could start to write one or
the other function/API call with Interop ??

Does probably have the java guys more system wrappers, so
that I should evaluate java ??

But now, I understand, why all my desktop apps - that, I saw until
now, never saves anythings, if I log off ....

Best regards,

++mabra
