SETWINDOWPOS

SWP_FRAMECHANGED  &H20

Applies new frame styles set using the SetWindowLongfunction. Sends a WM_NCCALCSIZE message to the window, even if the window's size is not being changed. If this flag is not specified, WM_NCCALCSIZEis sent only when the window's size is being changed

If you have changed certain window data using SetWindowLong, you must call SetWindowPos for the changes to take effect. Use the following combination for uFlags: SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_FRAMECHANGED.

(GWL_USERDATA  (-21

Sets the user data associated with the window. This data is intended for use by the application that created the window. Its value is initially zero.

(SetWindowLong(hWnd,GWL_USERDATA,Value

(Value=GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_USERDATA

GWL_USERDATA

When you send a WM_CLOSE message to a window, it tries to close the window as if the X button were pressed.You cannot know whether the application was closed externally or by clicking the X button

But there is an easy alternative. When you are closing the window externally using WM_CLOSE, you can initialize its 32-bit user data value using the SetWindowLong function before sending the message. In the target application (being closed) you will query this user data using GetWindowLong function and execute your code accordingly.

The user data value is set to 0 by default. You can set it to any non-zero value before sending the WM_CLOSE
