Question

I want to make something like on your internet browser. It will have a File then an exit at the bottom of the list. So I want to have it like that where it exits the program. (and like Dev C++ and any other program [I am not programming a web browser])

Ok here is my code please help:

#define ID_Exit 1

LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure (HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
   switch (message)           
   {
       case WM_CREATE:{

            HMENU hMenubar = CreateMenu();
            HMENU hFile = CreateMenu();

            AppendMenu(hMenubar, MF_POPUP, (UINT_PTR)hFile, "File");

            AppendMenu(hFile, MF_STRING, ID_Exit, "Exit");

            SetMenu(hwnd, hMenubar);

            break;
    }


    case WM_COMMAND:{

         if (LOWORD(wParam) == ID_Exit){                                   

         void exit ( int status );

         }

         break;
         }

Answer 1

You should use the Windows function DestroyWindow to destroy the main window:

if (LOWORD(wParam) == ID_Exit) {
    DestroyWindow(hwnd);
    break;
}
