It's an API function and if your compiler says there's no such function, you're probably using a very old SDK.

You can either download the latest SDK, or use PathFindFileName()[^].

Note: You must link to shlwapi.lib and include shlwapi.h to use this function.

Then you've just to extract the filename from the full path.

PostQuitMessage(0);

while running the application If I click on "Abort" button application is not closing at that point.After completion of present running task only application is closing. For example I am executing testcycle.In the middle I need to abort my application.Can anyone help me.

The clue is in the api command's name.

PostQuitMessage (0)

.

It POSTs a WM_QUIT message to the message queue. This is a signal for your message loop to exit.

While you are still in a function, you're not handling messages... so you don't quit.

ie:

void CMyApp:OnSomeButton ()
{
   PostQuitMessage (0);
   Sleep (10000);
}

will take 10 seconds before it even could quit.

Not knowing what you're doing, that's as helpful as I can be at the moment.

YES.

Now go and read my message again - it won't stop straight away. If you do many other things after the PostQuitMessage command, it will do them first.
