Hey Everyone,

Using the following in VB, one can launch a screensaver in a window on a
form:

Shell "sspipes.scr /p " & CStr(Picture1.hWnd)

Once launched, how can the screensaver be terminated programmatically?

Thanks & Regards,

TC

Try to send "Picture1.hWnd" a WM_CLOSE message. Or destroy the PictureBox
"Picture1".
