Tray Icon Menu Command handling in MFC

[pritamkd]

I have a MFC App with a Tray Icon. On Right clicking the Tray Icon i get a small 'Exit' menu and then on clicking on that i need to exit the App, but thats not happening, and the second time i click there's an assertion. On the handler for the Exit button, i call DestroyWindow(); Also i am overloading the WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED as said in this article. http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/dlgboxtricks.asp Any help here?????

Try AfxPostQuitMessage(0) before you call DestroyWindow. You may even not need to call the latter.

Try AfxPostQuitMessage(0) before you call DestroyWindow. You may even not need to call the latter. And I recommend you to call CDialog::onClose/OnOK instead of DestroyWindow (if u debug into it, you see the framework does more work just destrywindow). If you use SDI/MDI, try to use the mainframe to intercept the exit message, and after u tidy up things, call the baseclass onclose().

What is the ID of the Exit menu option? Do you have a handler in place for that ID? If so, what are you doing in that handler function?

I tried AfxPostQuitMessage(0) but didn't work. Basically, i have put a WM_COMMAND handler function where i check if the ID is TRAY_EXIT (thats the id of the Exit Menu option) and try to call AfxPostQuitMessage() there. But nothing happens. I ran DebugView to capture win32 and ran the app. But DebugView says: >>routing command id 0x8003 sent to app >>IGNORING command id 0x8003 sent to Cdialog Dialog (0x8003 is the TRAY_EXIT number) Is there a better way to handle creating a menu and providing exit option and then handling it?????? Looks like i am missing something here............ Pritam
