Restart a computer

[Panther]

I have a problem : You see my ISP gives me an IP addressfor three hours and then it changes it. But sometimes I amdoing stuff on my computer or I am just leaving it on standby and it blocks the IP changing request so what I wanted to do was to just make a nice little timer that will tell me to restart my computer or do it itself if I am not there. But I need to know if there is a code that makes a programm reboot the computer....

Hi,


you can use the function

ExitWindowsEx (EWX_REBOOT ,0)

Just call int 19h in some way

asm int 0x19

or get a far pointer to its function and then call it
See the Assembler Help for the exact memory areas

There is an Api that make this and is called ExitWindowsEx the sintax is

BOOL ExitWindowsEx(UINT uFlags, DWORD dwReserved);

the argumen uFlags can take this constants:
For exit windows EWX_SHUT_DOWN
For Reboot the system EWX_REBOOT

the second param is reserved for future used and is ignored

Exampled

void CShutWindow::OnBottonShutDown()
{ if(!ExitWindowsEx(EWX_SHUTDOWN, 0))
AfxMessageBox("Can´t shut the system");

}

If you have any problem please contact with me.
I have another problem and if you can help me I agree you.
This is that I want to capture the entire screen using Visual C++

space in the disk. If know how to do it or where can I find Help please

The following line will restart the computer ::-->
ExitWindowsEx(EWX_REBOOT,NULL)

If you want to restart a computer, I think you must be administrator on your machine. Pay attention to this.

Can you tell me how to get a far pointer to the function "asm int 0x19"? Because I don't get how to include this line into my VC++ program.
