[ceal21c]

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know how to close all open ie browsers from within vb6?

[some1uk03]

ud have to get the process.. (iexplore.exe) and kill it...

How would I kill a process in vb6?

avoid killing processes - it causes memory leaks. Just loop through the windows and close them:

Private Declare Function PostMessage Lib "user32" Alias "PostMessageA" ( _
    ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
 
Private Declare Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowExA" ( _
    ByVal hWnd1 As Long, ByVal hWnd2 As Long, ByVal lpsz1 As String, ByVal lpsz2 As String) As Long
 
Private Const WM_CLOSE As Long = &H10
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim lhWnd As Long
    Do
        lhWnd = FindWindowEx(0&, lhWnd, "IEFrame", vbNullString)
        If lhWnd Then PostMessage lhWnd, WM_CLOSE, 0&, 0&
    Loop While lhWnd
End Sub
