Hi SAKryukov, I use Win7 and VC++6.0 to code. What the way to do this? Thanks.

Solution 1

You could try enumerating all windows using EnumWindows and then send it the WM_CLOSE message using SendMessage.
Windows that ignore the WM_CLOSE message would still not close.

Can you explain all running windows? Do you want to close all the windows in a application?
