[AccessD] Closing an Application

Use the handle you got back from the Shell call to activate the correct
window and then use sendkeys to pass an Alt+F4 to close it.

AppActive MyAppID
SendKeys "%{F4}"

Subject: [AccessD] Closing an Application


Hi Group,

I would like to think that I am having this problem because I have been
away from Access for a couple of years but I strongly suspect it might
have something to do with big six-O coming next week.

I am writing an application that requires the On Screen Keyboard in
WinNT.

This starts it fine....

 
    Dim MyAppID, ReturnValue
 
    MyAppID = Shell("C:\Winnt\system32\osk.exe", 1)  ' Run On Screen
Keyboard.
    AppActivate MyAppID
 
 Problem is, what code do I use to close it?

Tks

Chris Enright
