Is there a way to Alt-F4 programatically.
It will be used to close another programs window that opens wich is the topmost form
on the desktop.

That doesn't sound like a bad thing to do at all. :icon_rolleyes: You might want to start reading The Old New Thing; there are plenty of horror stories about bad programmers who break the rules like that and screw up Windows for years to come.

It seems to cover a lot of things =) Perheps Alt-F4 can Shut down windows ? but perheps it could be controlled to not do that creating a scenario to prevent perheps, or perheps not :D

I meant that monkeying about in another program's process like that should give you the chills, and if it doesn't, you shouldn't be writing code.

This is not really a standardized thing, in my knowledge. For many reasons, it is usually a pretty involved platform specific thing, as terminating aother program is considered unsafe. There are ways to do it depending on the OS and other details.
Thanx...
