Press the switch with the word Power written on it, on the front of the computer.


Hope this helps.

hi

You can use the TerminateProcess API function. It will terminate an app like when you press CTRL + ALT + DEL.

The declare is like this:

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

Mr tumblingdown,

If u don't the answer, why don't keep ur A** shut, instead of farting around with wrong answer.

I'm really sorry to use these words, but u won't understand how important this query is for me.

Here is some code that I think should help alleviate your problem and should be used in any App that uses Forms:

Public Sub EndAll()
  dim fCurrent as Form

  For Each fCurrent in Forms
     
      fCurrent.Hide
      Unload fCurrent

  Next fCurrent

End Sub

Hope this is helpful.

To do it, by stating the exe:

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:\MyApp.exe")
