how to close program ?

[jakajee]

what function use close program?

[RhinoBull]

You'd have to unload each and every form that's currently open.
While unloading forms you'd have release memory by setting all public object variables to nothing, resetting all public arrays, string variables, etc, etc, etc...

There are many threads about this so try searching.

[DigiRev]

I think you should try being more specific...

Close what program? Yours? Another one?

[RhinoBull]

I assumed his own app...

So did I until I saw DigiRev's question. Now, however, I'm more guessing it is an external app.

I would assume its an external app because closing your own is kind of basic.

You would have to use some APIs to find the window handle of the other app and then SendMessage or Postmessage to send a WM_QUIT or WM_CLOSE message.

For some of us but not all of us.

Well true its never 100% but even looking at all new members on the Forums I havent seen this question for their own app. They will usually be using the dreaded "End"

But I digress until further information is clarified by the OP.
