How to kill a process

[Rafael Clemente]

Upon starting an application, I would like to be able to kill a certain process or app that shows in the Task Manager as FtLnSOP.exe. Manually, I can do it by right clicking it and asking "Kill the process tree". Is there any way of achieving the same from the program?
Thanks
Rafael

Here you have an example.

In this example shellexecute starts wordpad with efkes.rtf. The use has to close this aplication first before continuing. If this not occured , the program will do that.

Code: Select all  Expand view

Shellexecute(0 ,0  , "C:\TEMP\efkes.rtf" ,0 ,0 , 1)         
hWnd := FINDWND( "EFKES.RTF" )
         
? "Atention , wordpad must be closed correctly"
     
DO WHIL .T.
    hWnd := FINDWND( "EFKES.RTF" )

    IF ! EMPTY( hWnd )
       ? "the aplication closes Winword" 
        SENDMESSAGE( hWnd, 16 )
    End
END

#define GW_HWNDFIRST 0
#define GW_HWNDLAST  1
#define GW_HWNDNEXT  2
#define GW_HWNDPREV  3
#define GW_OWNER     4
#define GW_CHILD     5

FUNCTION FINDWND( cTitle )

LOCAL hWnd := GETWINDOW( GETDESKTOPWINDOW(), GW_CHILD )

WHILE hWnd != 0
    IF UPPER( cTitle ) $ UPPER( GETWINDOWTEXT( hWnd ) )
        RETURN hWnd
    ENDIF

    hWnd = GETWINDOW( hWnd, GW_HWNDNEXT )
ENDDO

RETURN NIL

Frank:

Thank you for your suggestion. The problem is that I do not know the Window title of the program to kill; only its name as it appears in the Task Manager, i.e: "FtLnSOP.exe"

Any other suggestion? _'s sollution seems promising, but at present I have been unabe to compile his example (see Spanish Forum).

Regards,

Rafael
