[python-win32] Cleanly Close System Tray Process

[Metz, Bobby W, WWCS]

Does mousing over the icon not make it disappear after it's killed?  If you can get the handle to the process, say via EnumWindows, you can user the TerminateProcess API call.

Hi guys,

I've got this little yellow icon sitting in my system tray:
http://i7.tinypic.com/21n08ig.png

I'd like to use the windows API to somehow ask it to shutdown?  If a
system tray icon counts as a window then perhaps I could get its hwnd
and do something like:
win32gui.PostMessage(hwnd, win32con.WM_CLOSE, 0, 0)
?

FYI so far I've been closing it with kill process but the problem is
that it leaves the icon in the system tray and after a few days of
opening and closing this thing I have 1000's of icons left over in the
system tray.

Much thanks!
