Terminating Process

VB Code:

If banned = True Then
MsgBox "You have been Banned!", vbInformation + vbOKOnly, "Error"
TerminateEXE "ProgramName.exe"
End If

Ok what I'm trying to do is if someone is banned, I want the messagebox to appear and terminate the process (.exe). It works fine for me, but not for others... and I can't figure out why. What happens to others when they get banned is the messagebox appears and says you have been banned but the program still loads after that. I don't want it to. I want it to be closed/terminated if you're banned.

I can't figure out the problem because it works fine for me but doesn't for others.

What am I missing or doing wrong?

TerminateEXE App.Path & "\ProgramName.exe"

That makes the program still load for me even when it says I'm banned.

what did you set to become banned? move the file, or whatever. if you put a key in the reg, then it will have to be changed so that the path is included.

I don't understand what you mean.

Sorry :sick:

what condition gets checked that sets BANNED to be true?

It reads a URL folder and if your harddrive serial .TXT is in there, it displays the messagebox and is SUPPOSED to close the process. it does for me but not for others

maybe find the window and delete it?

but how?

why can't you just END the program instead of killing it? That way, it wouldn't load.

because its not my program. its an external program

FindWindow

will find a window by its caption

here's an API to kill the process.
