You could do this two ways, by the exe path:
Code:
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:\Windows\Calc.exe")
Or by the handle:
Code:
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" _
Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal _
lpWindowName As String) As Long
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
Const WM_CLOSE = &H10
Const WM_DESTROY = &H2
Private Sub Command1_Click()
'Find Calculator
hWin = FindWindow("SciCalc", "Calculator")
'hWin = FindWindow(Class,Caption)
If hWin <> 0 Then
PostMessage hWin, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0
PostMessage hWin, WM_DESTROY, 0, 0
End If
End Sub
Both ways will force the program to close.
