Which is the simplest way to terminate a dialog-based application?

 

[julych]

...I mean how one application can terminate another one.

 

[KernelObject]

Use:

exit() or _exit().
Terminate the calling process after cleanup (exit) or immediately (_exit).

void exit( int status );
void _exit( int status );

include <process.h> or <stdlib.h>

eg:
exit(0);

What happens if you’re scared half to death twice?

 

[KernelObject]

I guess you can't unless you own the app to be terminated. do you?

If you want to exit a dialog box you should use EndDialog. Method exit interrupts the application.

Yes I own both the apps. I found a way to resolve this problem, but my bigger problem remains - noone can't tell me how to reload the default resources of the application at runtime. This is the reason I had to create a temporary exe (or attach dll) which starts immediately after closing the main application and restarts it. I'm writing a new post here, but I doubt whether anyone can help me.

when you need a resource you will load it in a way deppendent of type of resource. For icons use LoadIcon, for cursors LoadCursors. You should learn how to use resources, because you're doing a lot of unusual things only because you don't know how to use something. A good point to see any details is MSDN.
