Don't use DestroyWindow anyways, it doesn't give a chance for the window to clean up. Instead, you have quite a few options:

[list=1][*]Send "/close" to the chat window (not recommended because it shows up in the recent messages list and won't work if commands are disabled)
[*]Send a WM_COMMAND message with the menu identifier of the Close menu item
[*]Send a WM_CLOSE message
[*]Call CloseWindow on the chat window - this doesn't close it, nevermind[/list]

The WM_CLOSE method is probably the best to use :)

RE: DestroyWindow on chatwindow = crash?
Here's code to do each way (I'm bored :P). I recommend you use the last one ;)

[list=1][*]Send "/close" to the chat window (not recommended because it shows up in the recent messages list and won't work if commands are disabled)
code:
pChatWnd.SendMessage('/close');
[*]Send a WM_COMMAND message with the menu identifier of the Close menu item
code:
Interop.Call('User32.dll', 'SendMessageW', pChatWnd.Handle, 0x111 /* WM_COMMAND */, 40017, 0);
[*]Send a WM_CLOSE message
code:
Interop.Call('User32.dll', 'SendMessageW', pChatWnd.Handle, 0x0010 /* WM_CLOSE */, 0, 0);
[/list]

The W stands for "Wide".

Many APIs come in two versions, and ascii version and a wide version. This is for when you send text (or rather a handle to a text string in memory), since text can either be pure ascii or unicode (=wide characters =characters which are build from more than 1 byte... eg: Japanees, Hebrew, etc)

For sending a close command or close message it doesn't matter what you use since those commands and/or messages are numeric. So you could also use: "SendMessageA".

Such info like this can easly be found in the MSDN library

Yes, you can use the 'wide' version all the time with numeric messages or commands which do not return strings or which don't have anything todo with strings (eg: thus not commands or messages which return the amount of bytes in a string either).

No, you can't use the 'wide' version if you are going to pass a handle to an ascii string as a parameter or if the function will return a handle to an ascii string (which can also be the result of a numeric send message).
