Console Application Event Handling

Using SetConsoleCtrlHandler we can Add an application-defined HandlerRoutine function say myConsoleHandler.

Note: If the second parameter is TRUE, the handler is added; if it is FALSE, the handler is removed by SetConsoleCtrlHandler function.

Sample code is Shown Below

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "windows.h"

void myConsoleHandler(DWORD ctrlEvent)
{
   switch(ctrlEvent)
   {
        case CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT:
            MessageBox(NULL,"Program being closed!","CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT",MB_OK);
        break;

        case CTRL_C_EVENT:
            MessageBox(NULL,"Copy Event!","CTRL_C_EVENT",MB_OK);
        break;
   }

}

int main(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    SetConsoleTitle("Console Event Handler Demo");

    if(SetConsoleCtrlHandler((PHANDLER_ROUTINE)myConsoleHandler, TRUE))
    {
         printf( "nThe Control Handler is installed.n" );
         printf( "n -- Now try pressing Ctrl+C or closing the console..." );
         while(1)
         {
           //Do Nothing
         }
    }
    else
    {
        printf( "nERROR: Could not set control handler");
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}
