Humm... Nice .. But CWnd should be pointing to Other Window otherwise it will close it self! Better option will be ::PostMessage(WINDOW TO CLOSE HANDLE,WM_QUIT,...)

Hi, try createprocess and terminate process instead of ShellExecute. CreateProcess gives you the control over the created process. Bye, Cool Ju :cool: Dream Ur Destiny

you can try following CWnd *cwnd = FindWindow(NULL,"WINDOW_TO_FIND"); cwnd->PostMessage(WM_CLOSE,0,0); sanket patel
