First, download the Is_Run program in the files section (in Win 32 and other APIs). Use the Is_Run32 function to retrieve the window handle of the open application. Simply pass the function the known portion of the title bar.

Then you need the following:

DECLARE INTEGER SendMessage IN Win32API;
  INTEGER hWnd, INTEGER uMsge, INTEGER wParm, INTEGER lParm
* Call Is_Run32 with the title (lctitle in this case)
lnhWnd = Is_Run32(lctitle)
* Close the application - 16 = WM_CLOSE
= SendMessage(lnhWnd, 16, 0, 0)

I also seem to recall that WM_QUERYENDSESSION also works, but it's a little more complex to use.

hth,
