SendMessage WM_CLOSE with return

115 New Member
Im not sure if this is possible, but i would like to send a wm_close message to a window, and if this window is for instance mspaint and it prompts "close without saving" Is there a way I can detect if the user canceled or not?

Im not tied to sendmessage so any other technique/idea i am happy to listen.

Dont know if this is the right way, but this worked for my particular case:

It appears after calling sendmessage it does not return to your code until after either the user response or the process terminates. So after each call to SendMessage just checking if the process is still running should suffice.

Send the message WM_QUERYENDSESS ION. Then, when handling it, pop-up a dialog, examine the result. If the user wants to quit, continue to WM_CLOSE, otherwise, break out of the handler.

Hi I am trying to access the listview items from a SysListView32 control in C#.

I am always being returned -1 (or 0) as the index and am not quite sure what i am

Hi all, I am having trouble converting the code below (found on http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/core/sendmessage.htm) into a format that will work using vb .NET. Can anyone have a look at it and let me know what I need to change. I have tried changing the "hwnd" type into intptr's but there seem to be other problems too, like it won't allow "lParam As Any" to be declared.

Hi, My application has a lot of threads which at some point call SendMessage api passing it the handle of the gui window. The calls r a lot. My question is that should I call the SendMessage api by protecting it in a critical section, or the SendMessage api itself handles this kind of situation where a lot of threads in the same process r calling it.
