Terminate a Process

[huyhk]

Can anyone tell me how to find a process ID and terminate it?

GetCurrentProcessId and the GetCurrentProcess API's. Then use the TerminateProcess API to terminate it.

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

· hProcess
Identifies the process to terminate.
Windows NT: The handle must have PROCESS_TERMINATE access. For more information, see Process Objects.

· uExitCode
Specifies the exit code for the process and for all threads terminated as a result of this call. Use the GetExitCodeProcess function to retrieve the process’s exit value. Use the GetExitCodeThread function to retrieve a thread’s exit value.


Declare Function GetCurrentProcessId Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetCurrentProcessId" () As Long

Declare Function GetCurrentProcess Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetCurrentProcess" () As Long
