 Purpose  | 
 Close and destroy the specified dialog.  | 
| 
 Syntax  | 
 DIALOG END hDlg [, lResult&]  | 
| 
 Remarks  | 
 The dialog specified by the hDlg variable is destroyed. lResult& optionally specifies a value to return to the DIALOG SHOW MODAL or DIALOG SHOW MODELESS statement that activated the dialog initially.  | 
| 
 Restrictions  | 
 DIALOG END cannot close or destroy a dialog in a separate thread. In this case, send or post a message to the dialog to signal it to close, and respond to the message in the callback for the specified dialog. For example: ' Trigger a DIALOG END in a separate thread DIALOG SEND hDlg, %WM_SYSCOMMAND, %SC_CLOSE, 0 DIALOG END cannot be used during processing of the %WM_INITDIALOG message. If this effect is necessary, the solution is to post a user-defined message to the dialog and use DIALOG END at that point. For example: CALLBACK MyDialogCallback SELECT CASE CBMSG CASE %WM_INITDIALOG IF gMustEnd& THEN _ ' We have to stop! DIALOG POST CBHNDL, %WM_USER+999&, 0, 0 
 CASE %WM_USER + 999& DIALOG END CBHNDL FUNCTION = 1 END SELECT END FUNCTION  |
