Does anyone know how to invoke the "Unplug or eject hardware" function
of Windows programmatically rather than by the Tray Icon or the
Control Panel hardware wizard?
Specifically I want to unplug a USB device and wait until I get a
signal to say it's ok to remove the device.

I want this all to happen when the user exits the application, rather
than getting them to click the icon in the taskbar (if it's present)
and select Unplug or Eject Hardware, and then wait for the Ok message.

look at the DeviceIoControl in the Win32 help.
  that may help you.
