The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK) 1.0

This article was previously published under Q100359

SUMMARY

The description of the ExitWindows function does not list the code that you can use to terminate Windows and return control to MS-DOS.

MORE INFORMATION

Page 290 of the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) "Programming Reference, Volume 2: Functions" manual for version 3.1 states that the ExitWindows function can be used to terminate Windows and return control to MS-DOS. However, the description doesn't list the code needed to exercise this feature of the ExitWindows function.

To allow the ExitWindows function to terminate Windows and return control to MS-DOS, pass a zero as the dwReturnCode parameter.
