Re: Instance of soffice.bin remains running after closing OOo

Hi Jan,

please try to send ".uno::CloseWin" dispatch request to the frame of the 
background.odt document to close the document as an experiment.

This request is triggered when you click with the mouse to close the 
document window. It checks whether there are other frames that prevent 
termination and terminate the office if necessary. The problem is that 
your extension seems to close "background.odt" too late, when the UI 
part has already done its work. In this case the code that closes the 
last document is responsible to terminate the office. So the easiest way 
would be to just use the dispatch request to close the remaining 
"background.odt" as well.

Thus, if I understood the scenario correctly, the dispatch request 
should let the office be terminated in this scenario.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
Mikhail.
