Description
I tried having this setting on, but nothing happened. There was nothing written to the debug log to suggest that the program had even tried to pulse. I tested it on two computers, one with Windows XP Pro and one with Windows XP Home.

Additionally, with this setting on, exiting WhatPulse manually causes its tray icon to change to the green pulse icon for a brief moment before it disappears. Not sure why this happens, as exiting the program is not the same thing as a Windows Shutdown. Again, there's nothing in the debug log to suggest the program actually tried to pulse.

This application has to handle the MS Windows Message Pump - Close Application Message ; which is passed as a variable to an app, and tells the app's close event why Windows is requesting the application close itself.
The application should hold onto the delegate callbacks' thread (the function which runs when the application is closed) until a pulse is done successfully, of course handling for a timeout.
This has been a thorn in many of our sides.
What is the next step in getting this one resolved / closed out?
