Automaticly quit MFC app after launch

[bewa]

Hi guru's,

I'm a noob when it comes to MFC, so i hope someone can help me here.

I created a MFC app using CFormView. What I want to do, is

1. Start application
2. Do something the user only sees briefly
3. Close tha app without user intervention.

I can do this with:

void MyView::OnSetFocus(CWnd* pOldWnd)
{
  CFormView::OnSetFocus(pOldWnd);
  
  PostQuitMessage ( 0 );
  
}

but then I get memory leaks. When I leave this code out and close the app manually, I have no memory leaks.

Can someone help me on this? Why do I have memory leaks this way? How can I achieve what I want.

Many thanks in advance!

You should call OnClose();

well, why working with CMainFrame anyway if the user cannot interact?

You have a file called [projectname].cpp. It should contain the function InitInstance().

You can use this function to execute some code and then end:

BOOL CMyClass::InitInstance();
{
    // You code, if you want to show data, use a dialog!

    // Stop message loop (and so close application)
    return TRUE;
}

You can compare (not really the same, but if you think a little bit "wide", you can compare it) with the main in a normal c++ application.

You should call OnClose();

Could be a bit more precise?

A dialog app would be better in this case it sounds like. As soon as you close the dialog, the app would end.

Instead of PostQuitMessage ( 0 ) you should use DestroyWindow() .
The pointer to the window isn't deleted so that's why you're getting a memory leak . Look for DestroyWindow( ) in MSDN !
