closing a window completely

[RADM]

Hi,

How to actually close a window by using Windows API function? I tried CLOSEWINDOW and DESTROYWINDOW functions. CLOSEWINDOW just minimized the window and DESTROYWINDOW did something like that. I need to close the active window completely. Is there any idea?

Rgs,

Sending it a WM_CLOSE message should work most of the time. If there is an unsaved document open, it might not work, though.

Hi,

But I am using VB6 and want to use API function.

You would use the SendMessage() API for this, passing WM_CLOSE as a parameter.
