Sounds like you might be better off not using WM_CLOSE, since the OS is 
going to complain if you ignore it for too long. But you have plenty of 
other options if you want to handle communications between two apps you 
control. Easiest thing is to use RegisterWindowMessage() to get a unique 
message value for your own custom quit message, and then the child 
application could post WM_CLOSE to itself whenever it receives that custom 
quit message from the launcher app.
