#define INCL_WINHELP
 
HM_DISMISS_WINDOW
mp1 = 0L;    /* not used, must be zero */
mp2 = 0L;    /* not used, must be zero */
 
An application sends an HM_DISMISS_WINDOW message to a help window to close
the help window. Closing the help window does not destroy the help
instance.
 
This message does not use any parameters.
 
Return Value
 
The return value is FALSE if the help window is closed. It is TRUE if the
help window was already closed.
 
Comments
 
A help window is a modeless window. This means the user can view help and
return to the application window without closing the help window. An
application can use the HM_DISMISS_WINDOW message to close the help window
if the user has not closed it.
