Receive event before Windows enters standby or hibernate using Win32 API
Question
I'm working on a small chat application written in C++/Qt. My users are complaining that the connection is not shut down gracefully when they are closing the laptop lid and the computer enters standby.
Is there a Win32 hook available that is called when Windows is about to enter standby?
Solution
OTHER TIPS
Reimplement QCoreApplication::winEventFilter in your application to handle Windows standby events.
