Close Opencv window using Close button

Question

I have seen lot of examples in opencv exampes to Exit a window by pressing "ESC" key. I am working in a windows platform where I need to use the close button in the window to close the opencv "Capture" window? How can I do it? Any suggestions and examples will be helpful.

The short answer is you need to process the `WM_CLOSE` message appropriately. Is that where you're having trouble? — Retired Ninja, Apr 16 '13 at 04:29

I think this type of a code will help. I usually do this for closing window in python.

while():


    if (cv2.getWindowProperty('name_of_window', 0) < 0):
        cv2.destroyAllWindows()
        break

OpenCV doesn't support this feature. Sorry!
