Closing child windows in Quickwin program

[csmao]

Dear Colleagues:

I am new to IVF compiler (I used Lahey LF95 until now).
Can anyone tell me whether I can close a child window in a QUICKWIN program. I successfully build my project but unable to close the child window once it is created. I am exploring if I should use Fortran Windows Project instead of Quickwin.

Thanks.

Mao

If you know the handle to the window, try sendinga WM_CLOSE message to is using

iSt=SendMessage(hChild,WM_CLOSE,0,0)

You can use the ordinary Fortran CLOSE statement, with the unit number set to the unit number you used to create the child window. The default option for "status" (DELETE) will close and clear the child window from the screen, while KEEP closes the window for further activity, but leaves it on the screen.

Your comments are very helpful.
Thanks a lot.
