CloseDeskAcc

You can use the CloseDeskAcc function to close a desk accessory.

pascal void CloseDeskAcc(short refNum);

refNum

The driver reference number contained in the desk accessory's WindowRecord.

DESCRIPTION

The CloseDeskAcc function closes the desk accessory specified by the refNum parameter. Your application should call CloseDeskAcc only when the user selects the Close or Quit item from your File menu and the active window does not belong to your application.

You obtain the refNum parameter from the windowKind field of the desk accessory's WindowRecord. Do not use the driver reference number returned by OpenDeskAcc.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

The CloseDeskAcc function may move memory; you should not call it at interrupt time.
