The Close method closes this instance of the queue.
object.Close
| Syntax Element | Description |
| object | Queue (MSMQQueue) object that represents the open instance of the queue. |
When this method succeeds, MSMQ sets Handle to INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE.
The MSMQQueue object still exists after Close is called. Use the MSMQQueue object's IsOpen property to test if the queue is opened or closed.
This example opens a queue for sending messages, then closes the queue. To try this example using Microsoft® Visual Basic® (version 5.0), paste the code into the Code window of a form, and then run the example and click the form.
Dim qinfo As MSMQQueueInfo
Dim q As MSMQQueue
Private Sub Form_Click()
Set qinfo = New MSMQQueueInfo
qinfo.PathName = ".\CloseTest"
qinfo.Label = "Test Queue"
qinfo.Create
Set q = qinfo.Open(MQ_SEND_ACCESS, MQ_DENY_NONE)
If q.IsOpen Then
MsgBox "The " + qinfo.Label + " is open."
Else
MsgBox "The " + qinfo.Label + " is closed."
End If
q.Close
If q.IsOpen Then
MsgBox "The " + qinfo.Label + " is open."
Else
MsgBox "The " + qinfo.Label + " is closed."
End If
End Sub
