asked on

close divx player using a button on a form

Hi I was wondering if you could help me I've got a form with a button on it that opens the Divxplayer via the shell command, but once the divx finishes playing it just stops on the screen. I would like to shut down the divx player using another button on the form.How would I do this and removing all traces from the cpu memoery?

Big apologies for not responding to the kind solution provided. It was a mad time for what we were developing at the time...working 24hrs a day. Thanks for taking the time to post, I have to admit we found a different work around for that solution but i'm sure the one listed works.
If you have a few minutes to briefly describe the alternate technique, doing so could help improve the EE Solutions database.  Thanks!

Sorry, I should have been more specific, due to time management at the time and changing our development strategy, the work-around we used was by using a developer to embed a vlc player into flash program. Subsequently [and i'm afraid i'm not party to his code] each .divx files now auto-closes upon completion.
