    Closing Window in C++

    running a program with Turbo C++ 4.5. On menu option to close program, it terminates and displays inactive. Anyone know how I could get C++ to close the Window on termination automatically instead of having to click the x box in the top right of the window. Thanks in advance for suggestions etc...

    Post You can try...

    You can call this function where you want to exit:

    exit(1);

    Here's one way.
    Code:
    #include <windows.h>
    .
    .
    //Put this in main() before return 0
    DestroyWindow(GetActiveWindow());
