Using TerminateProcess/ExitProcess

[LPO]

Hi, everybody !
I can't use the API TerminateProcess(hprocess,uexitcode) if I don't know any process (hprocess or uexitcode) information. The only way that I got was the API GetCurrentProcess() but it returns the Handle of my application. Please, I want to do a program like task manager and I want to know the handle of other processes that is running at same time in Windows.
I can use ExitProcess either but I need the parameters too.
Resuming : I want to know how to use TerminateProcess or ExitProcess to kill any process(Program) that is running.

Thanks ! Obs:Answers to lpox@hotmail.com

This is a purdy good example that seems to work great and is very useful.

Private Declare Function ProcessFirst Lib "kernel32" _
Alias "Process32First" (ByVal hSnapshot As Long, uProcess _
As PROCESSENTRY32) As Long

Private Declare Function ProcessNext Lib "kernel32" _
Alias "Process32Next" (ByVal hSnapshot As Long, uProcess As _
PROCESSENTRY32) As Long

Private Declare Function CreateToolhelpSnapshot Lib "kernel32" _
Alias "CreateToolhelp32Snapshot" (ByVal lFlags As Long, _
lProcessID As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function CloseHandle Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hObject _
As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function OpenProcess Lib "kernel32" (ByVal _
dwDesiredAccess As Long, ByVal bInheritHandle As Long, _
ByVal dwProcessId As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function TerminateProcess Lib "kernel32" _
(ByVal hProcess As Long, ByVal uExitCode As Long) As Long



Type PROCESSENTRY32
dwSize As Long
cntUsage As Long
th32ProcessID As Long
th32DefaultHeapID As Long
th32ModuleID As Long
cntThreads As Long
th32ParentProcessID As Long
pcPriClassBase As Long
dwFlags As Long
szexeFile As String * MAX_PATH
End Type


Public Function KillApp(myName As String) As Boolean
Const PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS = 0
Dim uProcess As PROCESSENTRY32
Dim rProcessFound As Long
Dim hSnapshot As Long
Dim szExename As String
Dim exitCode As Long
Dim myProcess As Long
Dim AppKill As Boolean
Dim appCount As Integer
Dim i As Integer
On Local Error GoTo Finish
appCount = 0

Const TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS As Long = 2&

uProcess.dwSize = Len(uProcess)
hSnapshot = CreateToolhelpSnapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, 0&)
rProcessFound = ProcessFirst(hSnapshot, uProcess)

Do While rProcessFound
i = InStr(1, uProcess.szexeFile, Chr(0))
szExename = LCase$(Left$(uProcess.szexeFile, i - 1))
If Right$(szExename, Len(myName)) = LCase$(myName) Then
KillApp = True
appCount = appCount + 1
myProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, False, uProcess.th32ProcessID)
AppKill = TerminateProcess(myProcess, exitCode)
Call CloseHandle(myProcess)
End If
rProcessFound = ProcessNext(hSnapshot, uProcess)
Loop

Call CloseHandle(hSnapshot)
Finish:
End Function


Usage

Call KillApp("C:\program.exe")
