The codes below is my test on the Thomas's window.e library. In the codes,
firstly open 'notepad' prog with shellRun func. and then try to close it with
window_PostCloseMessage procedure... but does'nt work....
Please let me know anyone what's wrong... 

------------ code start here ---------------------
constant shell32 = open_dll("shell32.dll")
constant xShellExecute =
define_c_func(shell32,"ShellExecuteA",{C_INT,C_INT,C_INT,C_INT,C_INT,C_INT},C_INT)

function shellRun(sequence exe, sequence file, integer showMode)
  -- showMode: 0=hide, 1=normal, 3=maximize, 6=minimize
   atom exe_string, file_string, hwnd
   exe_string = allocate_string(exe)
   file_string = allocate_string(file)
   hwnd = c_func(xShellExecute,{0,0,exe_string,file_string,0,showMode})
   free( exe_string )
   free( file_string )
   return hwnd
end function

include misc.e
include window.ew -- include Thomas Parslow[PatRat]'s Library...
atom hwnd
hwnd=shellRun("notepad.exe","",6)
sleep(5)
window_PostCloseMessage(hwnd) -- attempt close notepad... but does'nt work
------------------ ends here -------------------------
