The answer is probably yes, but what you have to do depends on what you mean by
"sub window":
- if you mean a window actually embedded in another "main" window as a child
widget of the "main" window then the "main" window will act as a container and
deleting the "main" window will traverse the list of children and destroy them
all too, automatically. So no other action is required by you.
- if you mean another separate window, then note that fltk already keeps a list
of all the active windows, and you can traverse that list by using
Fl::first_window() and hiding each window that it returns, until it comes up
null.
However, that will find and close *all* the windows in your app - if you only
want to close a specific subset, you might be best to maintain you own list
after all...
