paul,
You need to use the TerminateProcess API call to kill it as the
end_process=
command does in TaskManager.
You should really send an wm_close command first as this is the polite way
=
- but doesnt always work, TerminateProcess, chops it off at the knees. If
y=
ou do a search on google for this and VB there are loads of examples. The
h=
ardest part is getting the processID - which is easier if you started the
p=
rocess as you will already have it.
Cheers
Jim
