WM_QUIT isn't send to the window message queue.. WM_CLOSE is, but it only closes the window.
| oib111 wrote: | | Oh and is there anyway to send the WM_QUIT message to notepad, like all notepad files instead of only the untitled one. |
| Code: | HWND notepadHWND;
do {
notepadHWND = ::FindWindow( TEXT("Notepad"), NULL );
if(notepadHWND) {
::PostMessage(notepadHWND, WM_QUIT, 0, NULL);
::Sleep(10) // Give it some time to quit
}
} while(notepadHWND!=NULL); |
PS. It's almost 5 am, I hope I got it right :p

send the message WM_CLOSE and WM_DESTROY or maybe just WM_DESTROY because when you send close it sends destroy

WM_QUIT I believe. If you want to terminate it, use ::TerminateProcess.
My example is working btw (w/ notepad at least)...

| going by the name "nvsvc32.exe" I'm guessing it's a service. To stop that you would go through the service control manager (ControlService with SERVICE_CONTROL_STOP)

how about if i just made a program and made it a hidden process and made it not have a window, what would i do to close it from another program? Btw, is there anyway to take a program and make it a child window to your program so you can access its info + close it?

| yes, set up pipes for communication and when you want it to close you can send it a message that the program will interpret as close.

ooo fast responder , lol , thx
edit:
| Code: |
DeleteFile("bla.txt");
|
or
| Code: |
DeleteFile("C:\Documents and Settings\OIB\Desktop\bla.txt");
|
I mean I know it says filename, but what if you have more than one file with the same name? Wouldn't you need file path?

| You can't have two files with the same name in the same directory. Use the full path.

I know, but what if you had two files named the same thing but in different directories, would it delete both?

No, of course not.
How the hell would: DeleteFile("C:\\path\\path\\path\\file.txt");
delete "C:\file.txt"
