Hi all!
I'd like to suggest a feature, which VMware already has.
Sometimes I'm run VMs in background (e.g. minimized), and
use a SSH client to connect to it. The problem is that I
often forget the running VM when I'm shutting down my Windows
box (which is the host OS). VMware can detect that there's
still a VM running and prevent windows from shutting down.
But VBox doesn't have this feature yet.
Adding this feature is simple (at least in Windows, I think).
Just receive the WM_QUERYENDSESSION message in the window
procedure and:
if there's VM running
return FALSE in respond and
show user a message that he should shutdown the VM first
else
return TRUE
I found its hard for me to hack VBox so I come here for help.
Currently I'm using a small utility that declare itself to
be shutdown before all normal applications and detect whether
there's a VBox window. It just interpret the Windows's shutting
down process when found the VBox window. However, I'd like to
see this (very useful, I think) feature to be built in VBox.
So what's your opinion? Will this feature available in the next
version?
