Hi,
You can FindWindow & SendMessage API
Declare long FindWindow in win32api string cclass, string ccaption
Declare long SendMessage in Win32Api long hwnd, long wparam, long lparam
hwnd = FindWindow(NULL,"Window Caption"
=SendMessge(hwnd,17,32) && WM_CLOSE = 32
Hope it helps
Jimmy

Hi Tony,
FWIW, I would advocate you use the PostMessage function instead of the SendMessage function. SendMessage places a message on the message stack and waits until the message is processed from the stack. PostMessage simply places the message on the stack and returns.
If you use SendMessage and the corresponding application is in a modal state(ie, getfile or savefile dialog box), be prepared for your app to hang until the modal state is resolved in the offending app.
Just my two cents.
For an example of the PostMessage functions, see: thread184-34969 Jon Hawkins
