Hi experts,

When using ExitWindowsEx in VB.net, for DWORD dwReason I wanna set this value:

SHTDN_REASON_MAJOR_OTHER | SHTDN_REASON_MINOR_OTHER | SHTDN_REASON_FLAG_PLANNED

"Other (Planned)" A planned shutdown or restart.

So, what to set for:

ExitWindowsEx(EWX_REBOOT, xx??xx)

Their values are 0x00000000 and 0x00000000 and 0x80000000

Thanks for your help :)

    Public Const SHTDN_REASON_MAJOR_OTHER As UInteger = &H0
Public Const SHTDN_REASON_MINOR_OTHER As UInteger = &H0
Public Const SHTDN_REASON_FLAG_PLANNED As UInteger = &H80000000UI

    Dim nReason As UInteger = SHTDN_REASON_MAJOR_OTHER Or SHTDN_REASON_MINOR_OTHER Or SHTDN_REASON_FLAG_PLANNED
