WM_QUIT message
Indicates a request to terminate an application, and is generated when the application calls the PostQuitMessage function. This message causes the GetMessage function to return zero.
#define WM_QUIT 0x0012
Parameters
-
wParam
-
The exit code given in the PostQuitMessage function.
-
lParam
-
This parameter is not used.
Return value
Type: LRESULT
This message does not have a return value because it causes the message loop to terminate before the message is sent to the application's window procedure.
Remarks
The WM_QUIT message is not associated with a window and therefore will never be received through a window's window procedure. It is retrieved only by the GetMessage or PeekMessage functions.
Do not post the WM_QUIT message using the PostMessage function; use PostQuitMessage.
