Closing files

[tweetie777]

I know how to run an exe file using the SHELLEXECUTE command. How do you close that same file? Thanks to anyone who can help. Please provide a sample of code.

Have a look at

TerminateProcess

type this and click F1 with the cursor over it, there is information on usage in the help file.

You will probobly need to use something like 'getforgroundwindow' to get the handle of the application you want to terminate.

Try this

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var fnhandle : thandle;
begin
 FNHandle := FindWindow(nil,'FormCaptionText');
 SendMessage(FNHandle,WM_Close,0,0);
end;

where in FormCaptionText you substitute the caption of the form of the application you want to close;
