 I wish to nicely close a tree of other processes. I can get their PIDs 
using CreateToolhelp32Snapshot() so I can use TerminateProcess() on each 
one. This is a bit drastic as it can cause up to two hours work to be lost. 
Is there another way? I can find the spawning application, but have no idea 
of the order of the dependencies. ExitProcess() does not seem to work and 
sending a WM_CLOSE message just minimises the main window.
I will be grateful for any clue.
Richard

Use EnumWindows() and GetWindowThreadProcessId() to find all of the
HWNs that belong to those processes.  Then you can send WM_CLOSE
and/or WM_QUIT messages to them.

Works perfectly. Thank you.
