Hello,

My application has ICS server components which needs the message queue and
time/cycles to close up. So I use non-standard closing procedures. I disable
closing by setting CanClose=false; in OnCloseQuery and posting WM_Destroy
message which is handled in Wnd_Proc and a WM_QUIT is posted there.

This works well when I close the program from File Menu->Shut Down. However
when I try to close the program from Task Manager -> Applications -> Close,
Windows waits a few secs and then launches "End Task" question! I want it to
close gracefully. I checked and saw that neither WM_DESTROY nor WM_QUIT is
posted when I try to close from Task Manager->Applications (not processes!
It works). Does anyone know how to do it gracefully?

Best Regards,

SZ
