I'm trying to put a check into the exit routine for my application. I've trapped the ID_APP_EXIT command for 'File Exit' from the menu, but I'm unable to capture either ALT F4 or either of the application title bar exit buttons.
Can anyone help, as I can't trust the users to close the application using File Exit every time!

Trap the WM_QUIT message and do what you need before passing it on.

Yeah - that's what I thought.
It doesn't seem to work!
Should I be capturing on the CWinApp or on the CMDIMainFrame - or somewhere else entirely?

Maybe try to catch WM_CLOSE on the main window?

Yeah - I got it to work by capturing WM_CLOSE on the Main Frame
