Alternate to PostQuitMessage

Hi all,

For some strange reason the ::PostQuitMessage(0); does not always work if my software has been open for a while.... Is there another way to close the app. I don't want to use ExitProccess as I'm cleaning up on the Applications deconstructor.

Thanks
Aaron

Hi,

Give one of these a shot . . .

EndDialog(0); // If main window is dervied from CDialog

or

::DestroyWindow(AfxGetMainWnd()->m_hWnd); // If main window is dervied from something other than CDialog

I hope that helps.

ExitProcess should be fine, as all the clean-up operations are still performed. This is opposite to TerminateProcess, when none of the DLLs is notified, and the process is shut down immediately.

You could try

::PostMessage(AfxGetMainWnd()->m_hWnd, WM_QUIT, 0, 0);

anywhere in your program.

I feel I gave two pretty good alternatives to PostQuitMessage

Sorry, I've been outa town.

I finally figured out that it was another thread that was causing the problem.
I'm happy to divy up the points for everyone's input.

Thanks
