Kill Process or Close the Window

hi,

Greetings!

I want to Kill process so, anybody give me idea.

Better ,Give me idea on FindWindowEx()--Its returns handler then i can sendMessage() with WM_CLOSE to that handler.

I was tried with FindWindowEx,but i unable get window handler based on Window Title.
Is there any other way to get the window handler based on WIndow Title or Window exe.

Give me idea,

Thanks,
Sureka

Just try, maybe works ;-)

I dunno, MAPI has killed a few of my processes in the past. :-)

Killed a few brain cells too.

Also have a look to this previous question. You don't need to FindWindow to identify your process:

hi..

try this

HWND hwnd;
hwnd = ::FindWindow(NULL,"title of the program");
if(hwnd)
{
AfxMessageBox("Window detected.Press OK to close");
::SendMessage(hwnd,WM_CLOSE,0,0);
}

note : the title of the window is not case sensitive, but the given string should be exactly same as the window title. Here i used FindWindow.
FindWindowEx is used to find the child windows(edit box, combobox etc) of a program.

hope this helps

Have you read the article I linked above?

Um, since the article I posted is quite complete and jaime_olicares' comment deals with MAPI(!) and the links are 404, I cannot see a reason for a split...

Maybe links are not valid now, but there are valid once, because I test and READ links before posting.
