Win32 API Window messages WM_CLOSE
Example
Sent when an application's close button is clicked. Do not confuse this with WM_DESTROY which is sent when a window will be destroyed. The main difference lies in the fact that closing may be canceled in WM_CLOSE (think of Microsoft Word asking to save your changes), versus that destroying is when the window has already been closed (think of Microsoft Word freeing memory).
LRESULT CALLBACK winproc(HWND hwnd, UINT wm, WPARAM wp, LPARAM lp)
{
static char *text;
switch (wm) {
case WM_CREATE:
text = malloc(256);
/* use the allocated memory */
return 0;
case WM_CLOSE:
switch (MessageBox(hwnd, "Save changes?", "", MB_YESNOCANCEL)) {
case IDYES:
savedoc();
/* fall through */
case IDNO:
DestroyWindow(hwnd);
break;
}
return 0;
case WM_DESTROY:
/* free the memory */
free(text);
PostQuitMessage(0);
return 0;
}
return DefWindowProc(hwnd, wm, wp, lp);
}
