Causing an application to quit.
Q. What is the proper way to shut down an application? Is there a message that will shut down the application regardless of what UI objects are active (such as a modal dialog up)? A. Send MSG_META_DETACH to the application object. For the callerID parameter, pass zero. (callerID is useful if you are writing your own handlers for MSG_META_DETACH and want some way to ID the object that sent the message.) Another option: You can send MSG_META_QUIT to the application object. This will cause your application to completely shut down. It will not save a state file.
