Windows message for closing application

red_sodium · 2004-03-26T20:09:40

Hi, Does anyone know what the windows message is sent when the "x" in the top right of a windowed application is clicked? For some reason, when I click this, my applicaton still runs, although the window itself is closed.

Another reason why tutorials are a bad idea. It is better to localize your message handling in the window procedure (which is in a parallel thread) rather than right in your main loop. The only "message handling" you should do in the main loop is the minimum necessary to pump messages.

Time to crack out the debugger.

Thanks for that, Oluseyi. I must admit I know very little about my debugger that comes with Borland C++ Builder (v3.0). Do you know any good articles for this compiler or for debugging theory in general, as I'm a little rusty and it's hard to find good material on this subject without shelling out £50 on a 500 page hardback.

Thanks

PS: Would that really solve my problem? I'll give it a try anyway...
