I have this MDI application, which creates a (random) number of mdi childrens during it's existence. So what im wondering about is when I close the main window(which all child windows are in) will they get destroyed automatically or do I have to destroy them myself? Why im wondering is, I tried putting a message box in the WM_DESTROY case in the childs message handling procedure. And when I run the app and create a couple of child windows and exit the application with the child windows still visible, i get no message box to show...

edit. o yea, this is under the normal Win32 API not MFC or any of that stuff...

You should get WM_DESTROY in the children windows. Can you show us some code?
