Closing Windows

How do i close all of the active windows??? I have the code to minimise them, but ive been having problems getting it to close them.:(

Add to a Module

Declare Function EnumWindows Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal lpEnumFunc As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function PostMessage Lib "user32" Alias "PostMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Private Const WM_CLOSE = &H10
Private Const WM_QUIT = &H12

Public Function EnumWindowsProc(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
PostMessage hwnd, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0
PostMessage hwnd, WM_QUIT, 0, 0
EnumWindowsProc = 1
End Function


To trigger it:

EnumWindows AddressOf EnumWindowsProc, 0

Actually, that might close your own window. Try this instead:

Declare Function EnumWindows Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal lpEnumFunc As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function PostMessage Lib "user32" Alias "PostMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Private Const WM_CLOSE = &H10
Private Const WM_QUIT = &H12

Public Function EnumWindowsProc(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
If hwnd <> Form1.hWnd then
PostMessage hwnd, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0
PostMessage hwnd, WM_QUIT, 0, 0
EnumWindowsProc = 1
End If
End Function

when i use your second code, it still closes the app window, but leaves another window open:confused:
