Coming back to this situation after some weeks have passed,

AfxGetMainWnd()->PostMessage(WM_CLOSE) is working cleanly now. I had been
posting it too deeply within a series of recurring calls and loops.

Once again, thanks for the essential aid.

Could it be that your program has a bug? Note that if posting a WM_CLOSE
message fails,
then any other attempt to close your app should fail. This would
represent an erroneous
program. Are you using any threads? If so, are you making sure they shut
down correctly?

to break out of any calling loops at the point of the error.

What sort of variables?

Thanks, M. Actually, these WM_CLOSE messages are crashing my program,
hanging up on variable that no longer have legit values. I am not sure
what to do.

If I may be so bold...

: )

Try ::PostMessage(AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->GetSafeHwnd(), WM_CLOSE,
0,
0);

Bob, thank you very much! Now I have:

m_pView->PostMessage(WM_CLOSE);

How does this relate to my main window in my SDI? Should I do
something different?

Post a WM_CLOSE to your main window. The default handler will shut
down the app cleanly (if you haven't over-ridden it and done
something
funky).

Using WM_QUIT will simply quit the main message loop, which means
your
windows won't get the opportunity for proper clean-up. Functional,
but
only one step up from terminating the process.
