Has anyone tried my solution above?

- Download the file here: raintree.hpg.com.br/blitzclose.dat
- Rename it to .zip (my host doesn't allow .zip files)
- Decompress and check readme.txt inside.

Example code (need the DLL above):

AppTitle "test123"

; First parameter is the scancode to fake, the second is the window name
InstallCloseHandler(57, "test123")

While (Not KeyHit(1))
	; This if will be TRUE when the user tries to close the window, usually don't use a common key
	If KeyHit(57)  
		DebugLog("yeah")
                Exit ; Exit the program
	EndIf

UnInstallCloseHandler()

This way you can detect when either:
- The close button is pressed
- The user hs choosen close from system menu
- The user terminates the application from the task manager
- The user uses the Alt+F4 shortcut

Because all of this events send WM_CLOSE messages to the window.
