Shutdown Clickonce application

I am new to clickonce application. From a global application we have buttons to launch other windows/usercontrols (*.exe, clickone, xbaps, etc.). When the global application shutsdown it is supposed to close all applications it has launched. For any other .exe or xbap, we always have a handle to close them but for click once we are facing some problems.

ClickOnce applications launched from our global app always have Window.

Question

  1. When user click "X" on a ClickOnce app Window does this uninstall clickonce or shuts it down?
  2. How to shut down a clickonce app from another application (in my case from the global app which launched clickonce in first place?)

Please note that I do not want to uninstall clickonce, I just want to close the clickonce app.

Thanks,

RDV

Figured out that ClickOnce apps have names and taskmanager shows the application name as "myclickonceapp.exe". Getting handle of this app, my global app could close the clickonce application.

  1. It shuts the app down. ClickOnce runs every time it is started and downloaded every time the manifest changes.
  2. To shutdown the application from your global app call a method on your clickonce application to issue System.Windows.Application.Current.Shutdown();
