How to simulate 'X' (the red button at the top right corner) ?

[Hanan888]

I'm developing a game in win32 c++ DirectX. On my graphic game window I have a picture of a 'close' button. When I click on it I want it to to the same as clicking the 'X' button. But although I tried several things: ::SendMessage(hWnd, WM_CLOSE, NULL, NULL); ::SendMessage(hWnd, WM_DESTROY, NULL, NULL); DestroyWindow(hWnd); I get strange bugs that won't happen when I click 'X'.

PostMessage(WM_SYSCOMMAND,SC_CLOSE,0);

Don't do that!  That doesn't destroy a window :) Mark

Thank you very much. It seems like all crazy bugs are gone.

Thanks. I Really shouldn't post ::SendMessage(hWnd, WM_DESTROY, NULL, NULL); as a real candidate. I was pretty desperate when I posted that message... :)
