Closing another application

[Nephila]

How can I close a command window from my delphi program?

Thanks!

If you know the window's handle;

SendMessage(WindowHandle, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_CLOSE, 0)

You can get the window handle by using the Findwindow command.

Handle := FindWindow(PChar(ApplicationClassName),Pchar(MainFormWindowName));

The application class name will be TApplication for a delphi application, and the MainFormWindowName will is typically the caption on the main form opened from the .dpr. The Winsight tool that comes with delphi will show you the class name and main window name as well, if you don't already know them.
