DUA - And Close Message

[Richard]

Hello,
May not be the right place but hopefully this is an easy one to answer.

I have a small program (KillProg) that DUA runs to close the custom shell,
and to close my application so I can copy new files over. It simply
sendsmessage with a wmClose parameter to the proper form handle.

It worked fine, however, now, I had to add a Form Close Query on the custom
shell, so when a user tries to close the shell, it pops up a Messagebox
asking for confirmation, if yes, then the the shell closes.

Since I added this msgbox, my KillProg causes the input box to popup asking
for confirmation and never shutsdown without user input. Is there a way I
can send a message to Force the shell to close? Something besides wmClose?

When the application sends a shutdown or reboot command, the shell still
pops the message, the system still forces the shell to close and a reboot
occurs, which is as intended.

Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,

Use API functions for manipulating jobs. You can assign process and all children it create to job object. And you can also tell it
when job is closed that everything in its container is killed on sight

CreateJobObject
SetInformationJobObject
JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE

I think that this will be enough for you to keep you going.

Regards,

Richard,

How about sending WM_QUIT to all the threads of the running apps? (I guess you may only have one thread)
