Close applications

[ArmandoN]

I need to close the system from my application, but before I wanted to send a message to the other processes so that they close. With shutdown no problem, but I don't know as sending the message to the processes. I proved with PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_QUERYENDSESSION, 0, 0), but it didn't work. Would somebody be able to help me ? Thank in advance.

There's no need to do this. ExitWindowsEx will close any other applications running. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Hi u can close the system abnormaly by closing the Winlogon process . when this process close the system will be halted and the system restarted. On Earth nothing impossible, while your mind running. Faroqtam

Hi Mike & Faroqtam, I need to give to all the other applications an opportunity so that they close about 20 seconds previous to the shutdown. My problem is as notifying to the other applications. Thank you for your answers.
