Check Process

[RPK58]

Hi,
I need a function in VB6 to check whether a particular process is running or not. For example, I want to check if "Acrobat.exe" is running, and kill it if it is. How can I do that in VB6?

Thanks

There are numberof ways to detect weather a process is running.

You can load all the running process shown in the Task Manager under Process Tab in to your application and check wheater acrobat.exe in the list. if it is, you can kill it.

This topic has been discussed and answerd so many times. if you search the forum using key words such as "Kill Process" , "Enumurate Process" etc, you get the many many examples. please have a search first . if you have any problem you can reply.
