Note that, strictly speaking, you don't have to call the destructors on the windows at all - simply calling hide() on them is enough. Though I acknowledge your problem - you close your main window, but it does not take its "helper" windows with it when it goes, leaving them up and meaning that your app does not expire... So, there are a few things you can try: The "dirty" hack I usually use is to make all the pointers for the top-level windows global, and then I attach a callback to the main window (that is called when the window is closed.) This callback walks through the list of child windows, and for any that are non-zero (i.e. have been created and shown at some point) I call hide() on them. Thus, when the main window goes, it takes its helpers with it. An alternate approach is to use the main window callback again, but this time have it use Fl::first_window() and Fl::next_window(...) in a loop to find and each window the app has open, and then hide() each of these in turn. Again, I think this will do what you want. Any good? SELEX Galileo Ltd Registered Office: Sigma House, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, Essex SS14 3EL A company registered in England & Wales.
