Please explain ambiguity

[Tom G]

I have stand-alone owner-draw button to use as "Close." MFC source file defines OnAppExit(): m_pMainWnd->SendMessage(WM_CLOSE). Even has comment stating: "Same as clicking close button in upper right corner." In my view class, define handler for button: AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->SendMessage(WM_CLOSE). App closes fine. Here's problem: Memory leak when using owner-draw button. Among others, DocTemplate not deallocating. Using default "X" button, no leaks. Has me baffled. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Use PostMessage instead. It is safer as SendMessage acts much like a function call.
