Hi Arif,

here's a sample code i wrote some time ago,
it will actually look for a window called test and will
send the app a close message.

Hope it helps.
Dave

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  HWND Application = FindWindow( NULL, argv[1]);

  if (Application){
    SendMessage(Application, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0);
    printf("Successfully closed ");
    printf(argv[1]);
    printf(".\n");}

  else{
    printf(argv[1]);
    printf(" was not found, therefore could not be closed.\n");}

  return 0;
}
