cleanly teminating an invisible dialog application;

[pc_dev]

I have used following technique to make dialog invisible at startup; which i have taken from Nishant Sivakumar's article "Some handy dialog box tricks, tips and workarounds". void CTest_deleteDlg::OnWindowPosChanging(WINDOWPOS FAR* lpwndpos) { if(!visible) lpwndpos->flags &= ~SWP_SHOWWINDOW; CDialog::OnWindowPosChanging(lpwndpos); } The problem is how can i terminate cleanly an invisible dialog application I have tried following; 1. Sending postmessage(wm_close) to dialog but it donot work; probably because the dialog is invisible. 2. OnOK() is also not working. 3. Showing the dialog and immediately and sending close message produces a splash therefore avoided. 3. exit(1) works fine but I am not sure that it teminates application cleanly or not so, I want to avoid this. 4. calling the Exit instance of main application even donot work! ((CMYApp*)AfxGetApp())->ExitInstance(); this should work because I am calling application object exit? but it wont? I am looking for a clean solution to terminate a hidden dialog application. Thanks in advance.:rose:

You could try: (Haven't tested it) PostQuitMessage(0); this is this.

Try PostQuitMessage(). It will destroy the main window and terminate the application.

What about Same old EndDialog()
